People are as they seem on a hot summer night
I'm a chain 'round an a bomb
I'm a train when I'm hateful
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
I'm a ribbon in the heat now, New York
It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Yeah, lay right down now
Then you know that it's
'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
On a hot summer night
For all the dreams and schemes
We'll walk until my feet drop
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
I will move with the beat now
A sometime someone you're not
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget that you're young
Don't be afraid of the world we made
Stranger, stranger
I'm a walkin' 'til my brain pops
And ride until your head breaks
Yeah, you can see the look in her eye
Don't wait to see what you got
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
On a hot summer night
'Cause you know that you're
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
