GIRLS IN THEIR SUMMER CLOTHES

well, the streetlights
shine down on Blessing Avenue
lovers they walk by,
holding hands two by two
a breeze crosses the porch,
bicycle spokes spin 'round
my jacket's on, I'm out the door
and tonight I'm gonna
burn this town down

the girls in their summer clothes
in the cool of the evening light
the girls in their summer clothes
pass me by

a kid's rubber ball smacks
off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
big bank clock chimes
off go the sleepy front porch lights
downtown the stores alight as the
evening's underway
things been a little tight
but I know their gonna turn my way

and the girls in their summer clothes
in the cool of the evening light
the girls in their summer clothes
pass me by

Frankie's diner, an old friend
on the edge of town
the neon sign spinning round
like a cross over the lost and found
the fluorescent lights
flick over Pop's Grill
Shaniqua brings the coffee and asks
"fill?" and says "penny for your
thoughts now my boy, Bill?"

she went away,
she cut me like a knife
hello beautiful thing,
maybe you could save my life
in just a glance,
down here on magic street
love's a fool's dance
I ain't got much sense,
but I still got my feet

the girls in their summer clothes
in the cool of the evening light
the girls in their summer clothes
pass me by

the girls in their summer clothes
in the cool of the evening light
the girls in their summer clothes
pass me by
