Lyrics
[Intro]
(Dramatically heavy synth bass kicks in with a sharp 808 clap)
(Spacey synth pads swell in the background)
(Rhythmic guitar scratching: "chack-ka-chack-ka")
[Male Lead Voice: Deep, raspy hum] "Yeah... get ready now."
[Backing Harmonies: Softly] (Rock the street... rock the street...)
[Verse 1]
[Male Lead Voice: Husky Baritone]
You’ve been waiting for the sun to go down
Watching all the neon lights flicker all over town
The energy is rising, it’s flowing through your feet
There’s a rhythmic motion echoing from every street!
You feel the vibration, it’s calling out your name
Once you start to move, you’ll never be the same!
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male Lead Voice]
Every heart is beating to a brand new sound
[Backing Harmonies: Harmony]
(Spinning ‘round and ‘round!)
[Male Lead Voice]
There’s a power in the air that you can’t deny
We’re gonna take this feeling HIGHER TO THE SKY!
[Chorus]
[Male Lead Voice & Backing Harmonies: Powerful Harmony]
ROCK THE STREET! (Until the morning comes!)
EVERYBODY! (Let’s have some fun!)
ROCK THE STREET! (To everybody!)
HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO ROCK THE STREET TONIGHT!!
[Verse 2]
[Male Lead Voice: Husky Baritone]
The rhythm is a magnet, it’s pulling you so close
This is the vibration that everybody needs the most!
From the east side to the west, the party never ends
Bring your brothers, bring your sisters, and tell all your friends!
The groove is getting tighter, the bass is getting deep
This is the kind of magic that you’re gonna want to keep!
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male Lead Voice]
Every heart is beating to a brand new sound
[Backing Harmonies: Harmony]
(Spinning ‘round and ‘round!)
[Male Lead Voice]
There’s a power in the air that you can’t deny
We’re gonna take this feeling HIGHER TO THE SKY!
[Chorus]
[Male Lead Voice & Backing Harmonies: Powerful Harmony]
ROCK THE STREET! (Until the morning comes!)
EVERYBODY! (Let’s have some fun!)
ROCK THE STREET! (To everybody!)
HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO ROCK THE STREET TONIGHT!!
[Instrumental Break]
(Extended 16-bar synth bass solo with filtered wah-wah effects)
(Percussion becomes more frantic with cowbells and tambourines)
(Sharp brass-like synth stabs punctuate every fourth beat)
[Bridge]
[Male Lead Voice: Gritty and Soulful]
When my dreams come true, I know just what I’ll do
I’ll be DANCING THERE! (Oh, dancing there!)
When I move on down your block, you know I won’t stop
Until I find SOMEBODY TO HELP ME!
[Backing Harmonies: High Energy]
(Somebody! Help me! Rock it! Don’t stop!)
[Verse 3]
[Male Lead Voice: Husky Baritone]
I can see it in your eyes, you’re caught up in the trance
The whole world is waiting for this one and only chance!
No more hesitation, no more looking back
We’re staying on the rhythm, staying ON THE TRACK!
The city is our playground, the music is our soul
Let the funky vibration take TOTAL CONTROL!
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male Lead Voice]
Every heart is beating to a brand new sound
[Backing Harmonies: Harmony]
(Spinning ‘round and ‘round!)
[Male Lead Voice]
There’s a power in the air that you can’t deny
We’re gonna take this feeling HIGHER TO THE SKY!
[Chorus]
[Male Lead Voice & Backing Harmonies: Powerful Harmony]
ROCK THE STREET! (Until the morning comes!)
EVERYBODY! (Let’s have some fun!)
ROCK THE STREET! (To everybody!)
HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO ROCK THE STREET TONIGHT!!
[Outro]
[Backing Harmonies: Repeating with Harmony]
(Rock the street... rock the street tonight!)
[Male Lead Voice: Ad-libbing]
"Yeah! Feel it in your soul! Don't stop the motion!"
"Keep on movin'! SHAKE IT!"
(Music slowly fades with a final heavy bass slap and a shimmering synth chime)
[Backing Harmonies] (Rock the street...)
[Final Voice: Deep whisper] "Tonight."
(Dramatically heavy synth bass kicks in with a sharp 808 clap)
(Spacey synth pads swell in the background)
(Rhythmic guitar scratching: "chack-ka-chack-ka")
[Male Lead Voice: Deep, raspy hum] "Yeah... get ready now."
