about
This song is about Ronak's family trip to Istanbul last summer!
lyrics
Been staying inside all day
Waiting for the sun to set
Stuck watching Turkish soaps
And sweating on the couch with my friends
There’s a whole big city out there
Waiting for us to explore
So when the sun goes down
We’ll be heading on out the door
- - -
CHORUS
So pick up your feet
We’re hitting the streets
We're going midnight bowling in Istanbul
We’re beating the heat
And going for eats
We're going midnight bowling in Istanbul
- - -
Street venders on every sidewalk
Hustling their wares
Ladies in their very best
Silks blowing in the night air
We'll take the trolley down
Down through Taksim Square
It’s 2 am but we've got
Hours ‘till call for prayer
- - -
CHORUS
So pick up your feet
We’re hitting the streets
We're going midnight bowling in Istanbul
We’re beating the heat
And going for eats
We're going midnight bowling in Istanbul
- - -
BRIDGE
So we’ve made it to the discotheque
and climb to the third floor
It’s 4 am and we find ourselves
In front of a locked door
Well we took too long
They’ve all gone home
Maybe we should have called
But there’s a light
Someone’s still here
We’re bowling after all
- - -
CHORUS
So pick up your feet
We’re hitting the streets
We're going midnight bowling in Istanbul
We’re beating the heat
And going for eats
We're going midnight bowling in Istanbul
