verse and chorus (short draft)

Verse:

Groove the night, the rhythm bites back,

Bass lines weaving through the neon track.

Guitar chops the air with a funky stare,

Drums ride the pocket we move as a pair.

Chorus:

to groove, let the rhythm,

Throw your hands up feel electric.

Funk and rock collide in a blazing flame,

We ride the beat, and never sound the same.
