[Verse 1]
I was alone
In the boarded up streets
The closed signs swung like a poem
Here where the street sweepers sleep

[Chorus]
It was a hot summer
I was feeling cool
There was no one there knowin'
I was lookin' for you

[Verse 2]
Well the bars were all empty
And the pavements were cracked
And the river ran wild
So I was fast on its track

[Chorus]
It was a hot summer
I sang out of tune
There was no one there knowin'
I was just a fool

[Verse 3]
I've got burgundy blood
A tiger stone in my boot
Hip flask in my pockеt
We could dance on the roof
[Chorus]
It was a hot summеr
And I'm just a fool
There was no one there knowing
I was looking for you

[Bridge]
On the other side
On the other side of the wild and true sages
On the other side
On the other side of you

[Chorus]
It was a hot summer
I was just a fool
I knew it right then
But there was nothing to do
