Message popped — you said “what’s the plan?”
I said “spotlight speakers and fans”
No need for heels just sneakers and heat
Let’s meet where the night skips a beat oh-oh-oh

Don’t you want me like I want you baby?
Don’t you feel it when the lights turn low?
We’ll sleep later now the floor is waiting
All you gotta do is just say “go”

Let’s dance — just a little closer
No chance — that I’m movin’ slower
Midnight — we can make it ours
Don’t hold back now this groove got power

D-N-C D-N-C D-N-C D-N-C
D-N-C D-N-C — uh uh-huh uh-huh

Yeah lights flashin’ heart's tappin’ the beat
You the cheat code makin' rhythm complete
No cap you a glitch in the matrix
Caught up in your vibe yeah it’s dangerous

Late night—steppin’ out like a boss
One move and I’m already lost
You spin I follow like fate in loops
We the headline — no need for groups

Call me when you’re close
Text me one emoji
You know where the rhythm is
Baby don’t be lowkey

Let’s dance — just a little closer
No chance — that I’m movin’ slower
Midnight — we can make it ours
Don’t hold back now this groove got power

[Hook – both voices layered]

Say it once say it right
Let’s move just tonight
Say it once say it right
Just move just tonight
D-N-C

You left your coat on the back of my chair
A silent reminder that you were there
Coffee's gone cold but I still sip slow
Tracing the patterns where your fingers go

I replay conversations word for word
Searching for meanings I might've heard
But silence speaks louder than our last fight
And I'm alone with the fading light

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

Your records still spin on repeat
Each note a memory I can't delete
Walls echo with the songs we knew
Now they're just melodies without you

I write letters I'll never send
Drafting apologies that won't mend
The distance grows with every line
Yet I can't cross this fault of mine

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

Maybe time will chart a new course
One where regrets show no remorse
But until then I'll walk this line
Between your past and future mine

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

You put your keys down like a question
I answer with the kettle on
Nine months of near-misses in a hallway
Nobody packing nobody gone

I could name the exit
I could find it in the dark
But something in the wiring
Keeps me right where you are

We keep ending up in the same room
Different city same weather same June
Say it's over then we say it too soon
We keep ending up in the same room

(same same same room)
(same same same room)

Your sister asks me if I'm happy
I tell her happy is not the word
It's more like knowing where the light switch is
When everything else has moved

I could name the exit
I could find it in the dark
But something in the wiring
Keeps me right where you are

We keep ending up in the same room
Different city same weather same June
Say it's over then we say it too soon
We keep ending up in the same room

Maybe love is not the lightning
Maybe love is the ground it hits
Maybe I have been holding out for something
When I already had this

We keep ending up in the same room
Different city same weather same June
Say it's over then we say it too soon
We keep ending up in the same room

(same same same room)
Say it's over then we say it too soon

Yeah!
Turn it over turn it over now!
Uh-huh!
Let’s go!

Runnin’ through the blocks got my heartbeat kickin’
Steel on my feet and the wheels keep spinnin’
Bass in my chest like a downtown riot
Hands in the air if you just can’t fight it

Skyscraper bounce in the middle of the lane
Every light flashin’ can’t stay the same
Heat in the air yeah the night’s our stage
Flip it one more time let’s break that cage

Turn it over! (Hey!)
Spin it ‘round now! (Hey!)
Turn it over! (Hey!)
Never slow down! (Hey!)
We keep movin’ we keep burnin’
Ride that beat the city’s turnin’
Turn it over! (Hey!)
Never slow down! (Hey!)

Jump to the left now slide to the right
We don’t wait for the day we ignite the night
Steam on the glass when the crowd gets near
Every move we make yeah the world can hear

We’re wired up loud with the floor still shakin’
No pause button no chance we’re takin’
Hands to the roof keep the vibe on fire
Drop it one more time lift it even higher

Turn it over! (Hey!)
Spin it ‘round now! (Hey!)
Turn it over! (Hey!)
Never slow down! (Hey!)
We keep movin’ we keep burnin’
Ride that beat the city’s turnin’
Turn it over! (Hey!)
Never slow down! (Hey!)

Push it forward!
Push it higher!
Can’t hold back!
Feel that fire!
Break it flip it!
Don’t stop yet!
We’re not done — it’s not over yet!

Turn it over! (Hey!)
Spin it ‘round now! (Hey!)
Turn it over! (Hey!)
Never slow down! (Hey!)
We keep movin’ we keep burnin’
Ride that beat the city’s turnin’
Turn it over! (Hey!)
Never slow down! (Hey!)

Hands in the dirt I plant the start
Sweat on my face I build my part
Told I couldn't still I tried
Raised a roof where they saw sky

One step two steps — fall reset
Still I walk haven’t stopped yet

Built from the ground not handed down
I earn the weight I wear the crown
No shortcut no easy sound
I rise I run I hold my ground

Bricks of doubt I laid aside
Pushed through walls they said would slide
Nights were cold the path unclear
But I stayed loud when no one near

One step two steps — fall reset
Still I walk haven’t stopped yet

Built from the ground not handed down
I earn the weight I wear the crown
No shortcut no easy sound
I rise I run I hold my ground

This isn't luck it’s stubborn flame
Each scar I carry knows my name

Built from the ground not handed down
I earn the weight I wear the crown
Breathe in deep hear the sound
Of me becoming round by round

Achtung
Herr Casino
Kaiser Tempo
No love story
No apology
Nur Rhythmus

He came in sharp
Black coat white face
Gold ring no name

One step two guards
Red wine fast cars
Cold smile big talk
Slow hands hard walk

Everybody said
Who is this man?
Nobody moved
Nobody ran

He smiled like a banker
Danced like a thief
Talked like a prince
With a knife in his sleeve

Kaiser Tempo
King of the room
Too much money
Not enough truth

Clickclick
Camera flash
Ticktick
Count the cash

Big talk
Small town
Lights up
Hands down

He don’t sing
He declares
He don’t love
He compares

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

Hotel lobby
Three am
Same old story
New problem

Silver lighter
Foreign smoke
He tells the truth
Like it’s a joke

Listen darling
Life is a game
Change the rules
Then change your name

He signs the bill
With a fountain pen
Leaves no number
Comes back again

One hand waving
One hand cold
Too young to stop
Too rich to grow old

Clickclick
Camera flash
Ticktick
Count the cash

Big talk
Small town
Lights up
Hands down

He don’t run
He arrives
He don’t sleep
He survives

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

In Vienna
They called him trouble

In Paris
They called him style

In Milan
They called him expensive

In Berlin
They just smiled

He said
Gentlemen
You can buy the ticket
But you cannot buy the entrance

Then the bass came in

Tempo
Kaiser
Tempo
Kaiser

No crown
No throne
Just a telephone

No heart
No fear
Just a mirror near

Tempo
Kaiser
Tempo
Kaiser

Talk fast
Walk slow
Never let the people know

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

Achtung
The bill is paid
The room is empty
Kaiser Tempo
Has left the building

Sweat in patches drenching my hoodie
No seduction
Clear as it should be
Although too tired to exercise even
I can walk to the alley or even the other precinct

Was I (And did you even listen?)
Mad like Dad (When I wanted to hold on?)

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

My third lollipop
A fabled bloodsucker
They make fun of me
But it's my true character
Jingle bells outside
Kids in the dark
Can't help but think of home and how it fell apart

Was I (And did you even listen?)
Mad like Dad (When I wanted to hold on?)

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

Nothing's subtle
They've exposed the situation
Here's a summary of the monetization
Buy their cheap toys
Last year's commemorations
And throw it away to save another generation

With whom I'm meeting
On this earth of neon light
Under stardust
The past flickering
But it's getting cold outside

I left at seventeen before the bread was warm
took the blue suitcase nobody claimed
Mother stood polishing the same clean glass
Dad read the paper without turning a page

There was a woman’s name behind the pantry clock
written twice then crossed with a kitchen knife
I asked who she was
They asked why I was still awake

Huh

They said “You’ll understand when you’re older”
So I got older somewhere else

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Years later a stranger stopped me near the docks
said “You walk exactly like she did”
I laughed and asked “Who?”
She looked at me as though I’d made a joke

Then she handed me a photograph:
my father younger one hand out of frame
and a girl with my uneven teeth
wearing the blue suitcase name tag

Huh Small world
Terrible handwriting

She said “Your mother tried her best”
I said “Which one?”

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train

I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong

Maybe I was kept
Maybe I was traded
Maybe love gets very polite
when the truth is complicated

I never asked again

That keeps them nervous

I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them polish every answer
I know where the story fails

I was gone gone gone—
huh they still insist I’m wild
I didn’t leave because I hated them
I left as someone else’s child

Oh-oh-oh…
Ay mi amor…
Corazón y pasión…

When you touch my hand el mundo para
Every look from you mi alma dispara
Trumpets sing the way I feel
This love is strong this love is real

Dance with me bajo la luna
Every step nos acerca más
Let the night keep our secret
This moment will always last

Corazón y pasión baila conmigo
Siente el fuego stay here conmigo
Corazón y pasión solo contigo
Hasta que salga el sol mi destino

Every kiss you give es mi fortuna
Your embrace shines brighter que la luna
Every beat of my heart’s for you
Every dream that I chase is true

Dance with me bajo la luna
Every step nos acerca más
Let the night keep our secret
This moment will always last

Corazón y pasión baila conmigo
Siente el fuego stay here conmigo
Corazón y pasión solo contigo
Hasta que salga el sol mi destino

No me sueltes mi vida
Hold me closer tonight
Every breath is a promise
We’ll be alright

Corazón y pasión baila conmigo
Siente el fuego stay here conmigo
Corazón y pasión solo contigo
Hasta que salga el sol mi destino
