June 21

Spotlight sweeping an empty stage
 For a prima ballerina that has passed away
 Sirens dopple after semi-automatic report
 Chargers whine through the valley concrete
 Reminds me of the squeal of stolen sprees
 Across the fields of my memories
 Summer in the city
 Bring me low
 Lonely backyard dog sings out to the moon
 Beyond the garage, a yellow zephyr on blocks
 Windows rust shut, the fan is not enough
 Feel the heat and sorrow descend into my heart
 Summer in the city
 Bring me low
 ♪
 Wait up with me tonight if you want
 'Til the moment is gone
 ♪
 Don't go to the BP after dark
 Don't be caught dead at the shortstop
 Green lights are flashing, no love for the outer ring
 All the cops are working traffic for the stadiums downtown
 Summer in the city
 Bring me low
 ♪
 Wait up with me tonight if you want
 Until the feeling is gone
 ♪
 Mass for the shut-ins, the dead of sleep
 It's on ice, but it won't keep
 Summer in the city
 Bring me low
 Bring me low
 Bring me low
