Temperature's rising in the city
Cracks in the pavement don't lie
Orange to red, glows and shimmers
There's a haze in the sky
The vibe on the street's gettin' hectic
Summer girls in disarray
Radios blaring like sirens
Weeks melt in a day
Then someone sticks to your skin
That's when the sweat pulls you in
A quivering humid despair
You finally give in
To the heat of the night
How can something so wrong feel so right?
Let's dance until the socialites find us
At Passerby past dawn
Out on 15th, we'll join the freak scene
Oh please c'mon
Out of candy, are you still with me?
Uptown to Harlem, we'll hide
Where do we go now?
We're trapped here
Hurry sundown, it's closing time
Where do we go when
The party's on every block
Then someone sticks to your skin
That's when the sweat pulls you in
A quivering humid despair
You finally give in
To the beat of every lonely night
In my fantasy it's fight or flight
To the beat of every lonely night
In my fantasy it's fight or flight
Guess it never matters
What gets bruised is on the inside
Guess it never matters
When you're moving at the speed of light
Let's dance until the socialites find us
At Passerby past dawn
Out on 15th, we'll join the freak scene
Oh please c'mon
Out of candy, are you still with me?
Uptown to Harlem, we'll hide"
