Cherry Slushie Soul

[Intro]
[Verse]
Two a.m. and the moon is high
Searching for a pizza pie
Or maybe just some gummy bears
Walking down the concrete stairs
My platforms hitting every crack
(Yeah, the silver ones with the scuff on the back)
Got my hair in a messy knot
Heading to the local spot
[Pre-Chorus]
But the air starts feeling heavy
Like a break about to levy
From the shop right next to the deli glass
I hear a groove with a whole lot of brass
That B-side rare, that deep-cut soul
Taking over all control
[Chorus]
Sipping on a cherry slushie
Feet are moving, don’t you rush me
Scuffed up platforms on the street
Gliding to this funky beat
Strangers in the crosswalk line
Looking like they’re doing fine
No drama in the neon light
Just the buzz of a perfect night
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, get into it)
(That’s that flavor)
(Yeah, pass me a straw)
Cherry slushie soul
Yeah, we’re losing all control
[Verse]
The clerk comes out with a plastic broom
But he’s sweeping to the sonic boom
The taxi driver parks his car
Thinks he’s a Motown superstar
(Go ahead, Cabbie, do your thing!)
Hear the wah-wah guitar start to sing
It’s a block party in the middle of June
Underneath a hazy yellow moon
[Pre-Chorus]
And the bass is getting thicker
Moving even slightly quicker
Shift the key to the minor side
Take me for a funky ride
Every window’s opening wide
Nowhere left for the rhythm to hide
[Chorus]
Sipping on a cherry slushie
Feet are moving, don’t you rush me
Scuffed up platforms on the street
Gliding to this funky beat
Strangers in the crosswalk line
Looking like they’re doing fine
No drama in the neon light
Just the buzz of a perfect night
[Bridge]
Slap that bass, let it snap and pop
Once we start, we’re never gonna stop
The horns are tight, a three-piece punch
Better than a Sunday brunch
Clavinet clicking like a clock
Rocking every single block
(Wait, did you hear that shaker? Mm-hmm!)
[Breakdown]
(Spoken)
I just came out for some snacks, you know?
Maybe some chocolate, maybe some ice.
But then the needle dropped.
And now look at us.
Even the pigeons are in rhythm.
(Laughs)
One more time!
[Chorus]
Sipping on a cherry slushie
Feet are moving, don’t you rush me
Scuffed up platforms on the street
Gliding to this funky beat
Strangers in the crosswalk line
Looking like they’re doing fine
No drama in the neon light
Just the buzz of a perfect night
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, get into it)
(Keep it rolling)
(Best night ever)
Cherry slushie soul
Yeah, we’re losing all control
[Outro]
