Lofty Pines

It's too hot to sleep
 Let's gather 'round the fan
 We can't do nothing 'bout the heat
 Let's just do what we can
 Everything'll be just fine
 ♪
 Just dream of the Lofty Pines
 ♪
 Well, I dreamed of the Lofty Pines
 At least what I thought they were
 Standing in the forest after night time
 Swaying so cool and sure
 Sure had never been so wrong
 ♪
 Sure like the title of the perfect song
 ♪
 Now, for the spectacular part
 Just then a pack of matches fell
 A logo of a tree in a heart
 They're from the Lofty Pines Motel
 All the while our dreams were our own
 ♪
 All the while that didn't mean all alone
 ♪
 Well, I gave the editor my pitch
 A series on our cultural wealth
 About the error of catalogues and lists
 I called it "Why We Fight Ourselves"
 If only we had nothing to say
 ♪
 If only we'd done nothing that day
 ♪
 "Je suis nee pour la chaleur"
 She said in her Manhattan French
 "On ne peut rien faire de la chaleur"
 We'll just have to take that chance
 We've got world enough and time
