summer in the city

The Damned

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn t it a pity
Doesn t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it s a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, and dance all night
Despite the heat, it ll be alright
And, babe, don t you know it s a pity
The days can t be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Cool town, evenin in the city
Dressin so fine and lookin so pretty
Cool cat, lookin for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Til I m wheezin like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop

But at night it s a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, and dance all night
Despite the heat, it ll be alright
And, babe, don t you know it s a pity
The days can t be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
In the summer, in the city

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn t it a pity
Doesn t seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half-dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

But at night it s a different world
Go out and find a girl
Come on, come on, and dance all night
Despite the heat, it ll be alright
And, babe, don t you know it s a pity
The days can t be like the nights
In the summer, in the city
Summer in the city
