Rags: The New American Musical: Blame It on the Summer Night

Oh, it's way past time and I should be home in bed
 But I'm standing here on this moonlit street instead
 I want to drink the breeze in
 And bathe in lantern light
 Oh, my reason's gone
 And I blame it on the summer night
 I see couples pass and their eyes are luminous
 And they smile at me as if to say "you're one of us"
 What's going on here?
 The street is full of lunatics
 Sharing some pagan rite
 If we're here till dawn
 Can we blame it on the summer night
 I keep remembering his eyes
 Fiery, pale in the moonlight
 Spinning my heart into an endless flight
 But I'm not to blame
 It's just the shameless summer night
 ♪
 I've got to stop this
 I never felt so giddy
 Why are the stars so bright?
 Through the streets I wander
 And blame it on the summer night
 Maybe the sun will come soon
 Maybe the morning will save me
 Clearing my mind
 Giving me back my sight
 But for now I'm stuck
 In the sweet, seductive summer night
