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
(Ah, what did they say?)
Things I can't understand
It's too close [bad word]  this heat has got right out of hand

It's a [bad word]  [bad word] summer
 [bad word] 
Leaving me here on my own
It's a [bad word]  [bad word] summer
(It's a [bad word] 
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
[x2]

The city is crowded
My friends are away and I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I gotta get up and go, and go

It's a [bad word]  [bad word] summer
 [bad word] 
Leaving me here on my own
It's a [bad word]  [bad word] summer
(It's a [bad word] 
Now you're gone
You're not the only one
[x5]
