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.
There's something special 'bout six o'clock. In the morning when it's still too early to knock. And the dusky light shines down on the block. And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock.
Grey view coldly slithering. Indifferently floating. I can't sleep. I feel half without you. . And I Sink. You were Smoky. You were tragic. And I can't sleep without you.
Remember hallways, you're waiting always. To see behind the door. You never seen her, you're gonna meet her. The first time's so unsure. . She smiles your way through a window.

You and me and rain on the roof. Caught up in a summer shower. Drying while it soaks the flowers. Maybe we'll be caught for hours. Waiting out the sun.
As the couples go parading by on a sunday stroll. All they talk about what makes loves `tisn't like it's told. Cause they don't match up like salt and pepper and birds of feather.
Eyes to look at, not to see through. She never could see truth for lies. With a smile she'd win 'em over. Her face a trick to take a prize. . Tickled pink.
You'll always hear me say Hello Ma'am. Thank you. Good morning. Looking fine. It's all those old folks left here waiting. That leapt my heart into my mind.
Nashville cats, play clean as country water. Nashville cats, play wild as mountain dew. Nashville cats, been playin' since they's babies. Nashville cats, get work before they're two.
I get money from you. To tickle your whim or blow up your mind. Then I give money to you. And you pay me back in kind. . And I gave money to Bill. He pays up my bills and helps me make up my mind.
If you are wond'rin' what I'm gonna do. While you are sleepin', am I sleepin' too?. Well, I'm just sittin' here lovin' you. Close my eyes and lovin' you.
I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night. And I heard Mama say to Papa: Let that boy rock and roll. . The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice today.
I was down in Savannah. Eatin' cream and bannanas. When the heat just made me faint. I began to get crosseyed. I thought I was lost. I'd begun to see things as they ain't.
The full measure of your giving. You don't yet understand. A cupful of living. That you hold in your hand. . The full weight of your loving. Makes me lighter than air.
Do you believe in magic, in a young girl's heart?. How the music can free her, whenever it starts. And it's magic, if the music is groovy. It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie.
Didn't want to have to do it. Didn't want to have to break your heart. Didn't want to have to do it. I kept a-hopin' from the very start. But you. Kept on a-tryin'.
Did you ever have to make up your mind?. You pick up on one and leave the other one behind. It's not often easy and not often kind. Did you ever have to make up your mind?.
What a day for a daydream. What a day for a daydreamin' boy. And I'm lost in a daydream. Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy. And even if time ain't really on my side.
Come. And talk of all the things we did today. Here. And laugh about our funny little ways. While we have a few minutes to breathe. Then I know that it's time you must leave.
