Been thinking 'bout a time, Maria A time that has gone past You been looking for a feeling, baby And feeling nothing fast Yeah I thought about St. Lawrence and the Perseids So come on out tonight Oh baby we'll be brand new These are the dog days This laying around won't do Out in the street, babe We'll be dancing all the fireworks away These are the dog days Been thinking how you shine, Maria With roses in your hair The ball game's on the radio The sound of old Tejano's in the air I know that madness in your mind The thirst upon your lips And all the dreams that burn like lightning Through your fingertips And I wonder if you know that I've been Wondering where you been I wonder if you want to start again? So come on out tonight Oh baby we'll be brand new These are the dog days This laying around won't do Out in the heat, babe We'll be dancing all the fireworks away Come on out tonight Come on out tonight Oh baby we'll be brand new These are the dog days This laying around won't do Out in the street, babe We'll be dancing by that riverwalk cafe These are the dog days
