Midnight Elevator Funk
Efraim Royfos
funk
rubbery bass
Greasy pocket funk jam; dry rhythm guitar scratches
and tight drums. Male vocals sit upfront
swaggering and playful
with stacked call-and-response backing hooks on the chorus. Horn stabs answer vocal phrases
keys add bright splashes in the pre-chorus
and a short breakdown strips to bass and claps before the final hook explodes.

[Verse 1]
Late fee on my rent
Still I’m dancing in the hallway
Neighbors giving me that look
I just shrug
Keep it all sway
Laundry basket in my hand
Spinning like a tilt-a-whirl
Side-eye
Side step
Spot you there
You that girl (mm)
[Pre-Chorus]
You hit the button
Doors start closing
Tiny room but it feels golden
Floor numbers climbing
Hearts wide open
You say “damn
That groove is potent”
[Chorus]
Midnight elevator funk
Going up
Going up (hey!)
You and me and all this junk
But we still glow
Still glow (oh yeah)
Bare feet on tile
We bump
Let the worries stay below
Midnight elevator funk
We ride that feeling slow
[Verse 2]
Flickering fluorescent sky
Humming like it knows our secret
You lean back on the rail
Say “play something I can get with”
I tap rhythm on the wall
You snap fingers on the two
We don’t need a crowd at all
Just this box and me and you
[Pre-Chorus]
You hit the button
Doors start closing
Tiny room but it feels golden
Floor numbers climbing
Hearts wide open
You say “damn
That groove is potent”
[Chorus]
Midnight elevator funk
Going up
Going up (hey!)
You and me and all this junk
But we still glow
Still glow
Bare feet on tile
We bump
Let the worries stay below
Midnight elevator funk
We ride that feeling slow
[Bridge]
Stop at seven
Door slides wide
Empty hallway
You decide
You press “Lobby”
Round again (round again)
Say “til it dings
We just pretend”
[Chorus]
Midnight elevator funk
Going up
Going up (hey!)
You and me and all this junk
But we still glow
Still glow
Bare feet on tile
We bump
Let the worries stay below
Midnight elevator funk
We ride that feeling slow (so slow)
Midnight elevator funk
Don’t let the feeling go
Late fee on my rent
Still I’m dancing in the hallway
Neighbors giving me that look
I just shrug
Keep it all sway
Laundry basket in my hand
Spinning like a tilt-a-whirl
Side-eye
Side step
Spot you there
You that girl (mm)
[Pre-Chorus]
You hit the button
Doors start closing
Tiny room but it feels golden
Floor numbers climbing
Hearts wide open
You say “damn
That groove is potent”
[Chorus]
Midnight elevator funk
Going up
Going up (hey!)
You and me and all this junk
But we still glow
Still glow (oh yeah)
Bare feet on tile
We bump
Let the worries stay below
Midnight elevator funk
We ride that feeling slow
