What a hot and sultry summer
Steam just slides up off them streets
You gotta stay inside and wait for the night
And then come on over and see me
An´ there´s a poetry about these streets
It just slips from your skin and goes right underneath
And mum always knew I´d meet a girl like you
But me, I never believed
´Cause I´ve been so lonely
I can´t imagine that kind of sympathy
´Cause I´ve been so lonely
I can´t imagine that kind of sympathy
Where´d you get them scars?
I´m blue as your heart!
Is it said enough to break?
She said "It´s said enough to break!"
How long was your life?
Was it could and strange like mine?
Are you man enough to lay here?
She said "I´m man enough my baby, come see about me!"
I had a dream about you once
And I could barely see your form
And I met you between the wax and the needle
In the words of my favorite song
And your black hair was like a raven
With your tan skin on the beach
An´ your backdrop were the auroras
And my sidekick was all this grief
And I´ve been so low down,
I´m almost level with the ground
Where´d you get them scars?
I´m blue as your heart!
Is it said enough to break?
She said "It´s said enough to break!"
How long was your life?
Was it could and strange like mine?
Are you man enough to lay here?
She said "I´m man enough my baby, come see about me!"
Did they take you to the carnival
To get locked up on a ride
Me, I got caught up with the fortune tellers
An´ ladies with the sleepy eyes
It took years my baby just to come clean
Every streetlight a reminder
And all those apologies
And the night was lonely next to me
Even the night was lonely next to me
Where´d you get them scars?
I´m blue as your heart!
Is it said enough to break?
She said "It´s said enough to break!"
How long was your life?
Was it could and strange like mine?
Are you man enough to lay here?
She said "I´m man enough my baby, come see about me!"
Come see about me, ah-ah!
Come see about me!
Come see about me!
Come see about me, ah-ah!
Come see about me, ah-ah!
Whenever you´re lonely!
