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

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

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

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

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