[Verse 1]
Concrete, concrete shinin' everywhere
Moonlight's bright and the kids don't care
Meet me at the streetlight, gonna take you there
Take you rooftop dancin'
[Verse 2]
Slow-mo throwin' my body in the air
Makin' the jump from ledge to ledge
Long hair flyin', we're out of breath
We're rooftop dancin'
[Refrain]
Look at, look at, look at
I can see everything
Babies double-dutchin', singing their names
Counting off time, doin' their thing
Look at, look at, look at
I can see everything
Babies double-dutchin', singing their names
Counting off time, doin' their thing
[Interlude]
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
[Verse 3]
Sunlight's beamin' out over the bridge
We're all runnin', outrunnin' death
Summertime breakin', but we're chasin' it
Forever rooftop dancin'
[Verse 1]
Concrete, concrete shinin' everywhere
Moonlight's bright and the kids don't care
Meet me at the streetlight, gonna take you there
Take you rooftop dancin'
[Outro]
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
I'll take you rooftop dancin'
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o
Pizza, pizza, Daddy-o

I am so happy at how well-framed summertime in New York feels in this song. We were using old playground songs as a way of thinking about time signature for this one. So deep in the background, you can hear me counting off in kind of a strange meter. This was another one that took a really long time...
