Saving all my pennies up, trying to get some cigarettes But that's the way I gotta live And there's a girl sitting on the bus bench Yelling at the pigeons as the children chase the sun It's like a movie but there's never any ending Summer in the city, world is ending this way That's why I stay so close to the action A parade just for my satisfaction 'Cause no one knows the reason for giving us Summer in the city You better move, you better dance all night long 'Cause I ain't coming home until the crack of dawn You better get back, get back 'Cause I can feel my blood pumping all night strong And I can love the way you wanna live And I can feel your heart beating next to mine And I can feel the heat coming up the seat And it's taking me away Into a place where nobody else is And we can be and be together at last And that boy, well, he done lost his old ball He'll never be right, he's got no hope at all That's why I pray that the summer never ends And we can stay here and walk the city forever 'Cause no one knows the reason for giving us Summer in the city You better move, you better dance all night long 'Cause I ain't coming home until the crack of dawn You better get back, get back 'Cause I can feel my blood pumping all night strong And I can love the way you wanna live And I can feel your heart beating next to mine Saving all my pennies up, trying to get some cigarettes But that's the way I gotta live And there's a girl sitting on the bus bench Yelling at the pigeons as the children chase the sun It's like a movie but there's never any ending Summer in the city, world is ending this way That's why I stay so close to the action A parade just for my satisfaction 'Cause no one knows the reason for giving us Summer in the city You better move, you better dance all night long 'Cause I ain't coming home until the crack of dawn You better get back, get back 'Cause I can feel my blood pumping all night strong And I can know the way you're gonna learn And I can feel your heart beating next to mine You better get back, get back, get back, get back You better get back, get back, get back, get back You better get back, get back, get back, get back You better get back, get back, get back, get back
