lyrics

There’s no hammer to hold here
No crop to reap
No more clock radio invading my sleep
No sycophancy
No fancy clothes
No planting someone else's seed and watching it grow
The week is done for
And none too soon
And you look perfect in the light of the moon

So on this summer night in spite of the heat
Tonight I wanna see the city out in the street
You with your noses up prepare for defeat
Tonight the whole city’s pouring out on the street

She walks a straight line but
She’s something new
And I can’t believe I’m doin this well with you
But I’m not nervous
No not today
I don’t bother searching for the right thing to say
And I know I’ll miss it
Tomorrow afternoon
But right now you look perfect in the light of the moon

So on this summer night in spite of the heat
Tonight I wanna see the city out in the street
You with your cliques intact your bound to get beat
Tonight the whole city’s pouring out on the street
Here come D’Angelo, Oderus, and me
Tonight I wanna see the city out in the street
Leave the a/c behind in spite of the heat
Tonight the whole city’s pouring out on the street

And though you follow every word that I say
It’s only trails I’m seein by the break of day
And when it’s over will you still know my name?
Will this continue or will you view it with shame?
