Pink Sky Samba

[Intro]
[Verse]
The clouds just broke above the street
Steam rises up beneath our feet
The tiles are wet and painted blue
I’m looking for a rhythm, looking for you
Agogô ringing in the air
The scent of lime is everywhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Sugar and ice in a plastic cup
The sun is down but we’re looking up
Pink on the mountain, gold on the wall
We’re waiting for the beat to call
[Chorus]
Oh, catch the spin
Let the samba in
Far from the crowds and the neon heights
Just us under the fairy lights
Don’t need a stage
Turn a brand new page
Lapa is dancing in the rain-kissed glow
Nowhere else to go
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, feel the sway
Don’t let the magic slip away
Hey, hey, feel the sway
We’re dancing the night away
[Verse]
The cuíca laughs a playful song
We’ve been waiting for this all along
A stranger catches my dizzy gaze
Lost in the rhythm’s golden haze
Cavaquinho strings begin to ring
The whole neighborhood starts to sing
[Pre-Chorus]
Sugar and ice in a plastic cup
The sun is down but we’re looking up
Pink on the mountain, gold on the wall
We’re waiting for the beat to call
[Chorus]
Oh, catch the spin
Let the samba in
Far from the crowds and the neon heights
Just us under the fairy lights
Don’t need a stage
Turn a brand new page
Lapa is dancing in the rain-kissed glow
Nowhere else to go
[Bridge]
Forget the big parade
In the cooling shade
This is the heartbeat, this is the soul
Losing our control
One step, two step, side to side
Nowhere left to hide
[Chorus]
Oh, catch the spin
Let the samba in
Far from the crowds and the neon heights
Just us under the fairy lights
Don’t need a stage
Turn a brand new page
Lapa is dancing in the rain-kissed glow
Nowhere else to go
[Post-Chorus]
Hey, hey, feel the sway
Don’t let the magic slip away
Hey, hey, feel the sway
We’re dancing the night away
[Verse]
We share a drink, we share a name
The city’s pulse is not the same
Fairy lights flicker on the wire
Setting the dusk on a gentle fire
No tickets sold for this tonight
Just the moon and the silver light
Hand in hand in a circle wide
Taking the beauty all in stride
[Outro]
