In the still breathless summer heat Ain't nothing movin' on the street No cars, no traffic There're stuck on hold, ain't life sweet In the hot summer heat Must be a dream in this crazy world It's so hot like a sweet mirage No pain, no heartache No trouble to unfold, ain't life sweet In the hot summer heat Time is standing still, he hangs in the air His hands ain't movin' but he still doesn't care For he ain't goin' nowhere Tic-tocking in the heat of the day He never stops and nothin' gets in his way But he's got nothin' to say In the hot summer heat Just lying and lazin' in the sun For tomorrow may never ever come I dream of water splashing all over me In the hot summer heat
