Make the Room Move

Make the room move
Make the room move

Make the room move (move)
Before you move me
Show me the pocket
Don't tell me, prove it

Small club early in Joburg
Glass sweating under my hand
You talk confidence from the corner
I want rhythm I can understand
Piano stabs, shaker breathing
Log drum leaves a space for feet
You come closer like a question
I make you answer on the beat

Don't tell me you can move me
Show me timing first

Make the room move (move)
Before you move me
Show me the pocket
Don't tell me, prove it

Power cuts, whole place goes black
One second quiet, then shoes start
Hands clap two, feet answer four
Somebody hums the missing part
You keep dancing with no system
No spotlight, no sound to hide
That's when your confidence looks real
The groove is coming from inside

Don't tell me you can move me
You just showed me

Make the room move (move)
Before you move me
Show me the pocket
Don't tell me, prove it

Make the room move (move)
Before you move me
Show me the pocket
Don't tell me, prove it

I put my glass down on the bar
And walked into the dark
Found your hands by the sound of the claps
And matched you, beat for beat

Make the room move (move)
Power's back again
You moved the room
Now move me, then

Make the room move
