The elevator's rising to the top floor
Glass walls, we don't need a locked door
The skyline's burning in a purple haze
Lost inside this high-end maze
Ice is clinking in a crystal glass
Watching all the city worries pass

The rhythm's bouncing off the marble stone
In this crowd, we're never on our own
Feel the pulse, feel the silver heat
The world is moving to an uptown beat

High rise shadows, velvet ties
We're dancing under diamond skies
Can you hear the uptown echoes ring?
Like a bird with a golden wing
Everything's expensive, everything's a dream
Living life in a neon stream

Silhouettes against the midnight blue
I only see the golden parts of you
Perfume lingering in the summer air
Diamonds hiding in your messy hair
The music's traveling through the steel and light
We're the kings of the height tonight

The rhythm's bouncing off the marble stone
In this crowd, we're never on our own
Feel the pulse, feel the silver heat
The world is moving to an uptown beat

High rise shadows, velvet ties
We're dancing under diamond skies
Can you hear the uptown echoes ring?
Like a bird with a golden wing
Everything's expensive, everything's a dream
Living life in a neon stream

(Echoes, echoes)

Can you hear it in the wind?
Where the rhythm starts and the night begins?
Higher, higher, take it to the top
Don't you ever let the feeling stop

High rise shadows, velvet ties
We're dancing under diamond skies
Can you hear the uptown echoes ring?
Like a bird with a golden wing
Everything's expensive, everything's a dream
Living life in a neon stream

Uptown echoes
Like a golden wing
(Keep it dancing, keep it moving)
(Echoes, echoes)
