hot summer streets
and the pavements are burning
i sit around
trying to smile but
the air is so heavy and dry
strange voices are saying
things i can´t understand
it´s too close for comfort
this heat has got
right out of hand

(chorus)
it´s a cruel, cruel summer
leaving me here on my own
it´s a cruel, cruel summer
now you´re gone

the city is crowded
my friends are away
and i´m on my own
it´s too hot to handle
so i got to get up and go

(chorus)
