Another scorcing summer's day Melting all the tarmac streets away Beneat my feet, the heat is growing stronger
No mercy from the burning sun Beads of perspiration on my face Humidity, the air so heavy
Cool night water
So darn hot the sky's on fire Too darn hot to feel desire It's so darn hot the birds won't sing Too darn hot for anything
Lazy like a winter fly Hear the churchbell ringing the hour
A summer storm would certainly, certainly relieve me
Taking one more freezing shower Trying to keep my mind alive Some ice cold Russian tea for inspiration
Cool night water
So darn hot the sky's on fire Too darn hot to feel desire It's so darn hot the birds won't sing Too darn hot for anything I wish that I could swim, God, I wish that I could swim In cood night water In cool night water
