lyrics

One hundred goddamned degrees
In the middle of the night

People out
Trying to walk it all off
In a haunted little town

The aging divorcee
Lures the awkward
High school jock
Into her bedroom
With cigarettes and booze

Who am I to judge
Life isn’t over
Until it’s over

Everyone has to survive
The heat somehow

Sitting on a brownstone stoop
Worn smooth by time
Sharing blue Icee kisses, with my baby
As the noisy drunks all stumble by

No one can sleep

Young girls
Hanging
On the corner
Dare the passing boys
Not to stare

The same old streets
Everywhere you turn
Where each choice
Leads to another catch-22

Sitting with my baby
On that worn out
Brownstone stoop
Sharing blue Icee kisses

So much sweeter than gin

A group of passing drunks
Look over

One laughs
I’ll have one of
What he’s having
Yeah, we all want that

Have our arm around our baby
Sharing blue Icee kisses
On a hot summer night

Always sweeter than wine

I’ve been here before
Same old dirty streets
Same old bad smells
Only with the wrong person

No one can change their past
No one can fix it for you either
But everyone has to survive the heat
Somehow

You can fight it
Or love it
Or Jump right in
Now

Yeah
Trading blue Icee kisses
With my baby
On a hot summer night

Nothing can be sweeter

The ghost is in the mountain
Wants to pull us back inside
But when I take
My baby’s hand
We can walk our way out
Of anything

Yeah, trading blue Icee kisses
With my baby
On a hot summer night
Nothing is sweeter
