[Intro]
(4-on-the-floor kick in, funky bass, glittering strings)
Yeah — come on!
Hands up, lights down, strobe on the floor
Let the city breathe this groove once more
[Verse 1]
Midnight downtown, sequins on the train
Leather boots, neon names, heartbeat like a train
Strobe cuts the ceiling, shadows learn to shine
You catch my eye across the glass of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Bassline walking, hearts sync in time (uh)
Guitar stabs snap, the groove is a rhyme
Electric hush then explode into light
Breathe with me — we're ready for flight
[Chorus] (Hook / Chant)
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
(Keep the night alive!)
Turn it up tonight — let the rhythm drive
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
Spin the world again until we feel alive
[Verse 2]
Mirror ball like a sun, fragments of our faces
Glitter on your jacket, we own these crowded spaces
Horns wink punctuation, dancers fold and rise
Midnight confessions under disco skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Clap on two, let the snares snap bright (yeah)
Strings lift the chorus into satellite height
A flash of courage, the crowd begins to fight
For the floor, for the song, for the neon light
[Chorus]
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
(Keep the night alive!)
Turn it up tonight — let the rhythm drive
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
Spin the world again until we feel alive
[Bridge — Breakdown / Call & Response]
(Beat drops to half, percussion tight; echo guitar)
Lead: Give me one beat, say you won't let go
Crowd/Response: We won't let go!
Lead: Give me two hands, lift them for the show
Crowd/Response: Lift them for the show!
(Pivot: key lift, horns and strings swell)
Lead: Keep it moving — don't think twice
Crowd: Keep it moving!
Lead: Move your body, steal a slice
Crowd: Steal a slice!
[Breakdown — Short Hook]
(Whispered) Keep the night… (call) KEEP IT ALIVE!
(Hand-claps, syncopated guitar stabs, horn hits)
[Chorus — Variation]
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
(Keep the night alive!)
Turn it up tonight — let the rhythm drive
This disco paradise becomes our home tonight
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
[Instrumental Solo]
(Funky bass solo + syncopated guitar, strings glide; producers: add rising horn hits and a short synth sweep)
[Final Chorus — Big Finish]
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
(Keep the night alive!)
Move your heart in time — let the light revive
Keep the night alive! — keep the night alive!
All the city dancing till the morning’s light arrives
[Outro]
(Gradual fade: choir echoes, hand-claps, repeated chant)
Keep the night alive — oh, keep the night alive
One more spin, one glass, one last high-five
We'll keep the night alive — forever in the shine
