Cold, Dark, & Yesterday Lyrics - Hall & Oates

The sun beats down so slow 

I feel my body heating up inside 

I watch the danger zone 

For signs of life but not a soul alive 

Try every trick I know 

To keep my temperature from blowing sky high 

Check on the time to go 

Lay my spirit down to fantasize 

Disembark disconnect possibilities unknown 

On the edge of a heading for heavy weather 

I suspect I can tell I can feel it in my bones 

All not well but you never know 

Cold dark and yesterday 

Glamorama all around me 

Friendly natives turning back to brown 

I keep my shades well down 

They cannot penetrate what can't be found 

Feel the fever start to rise 

Slip away in indiscreet disguise 

How can a man survive when the weak meet the soft 

And the heat blinds your eyes 

Left to right up and down it's picture postcard time 

Hear the sounds save the image in my mind 

Cold dark and yesterday
