Summer makes ist presence felt
Shadows that don't move must melt
I'm up against this storefront
Tryin' to play it hard
But this street sets ist own pace
You can never drop your guard
Some fool lights your cigarette
Another of your well trained pets
He's lookin' for a night of love
Lookin' for a fight
He'll never know what hit him
In the fury os the night
You're gonna tear the night to pieces
Then you'll finger paint the dawn
You're gonna curl up lying there just waitin'
Like a tiger on the lawn
Winter rounds up all the strays
I've been trapped in here for days
While you're movin' through the vacant streets
Restless and untamed
Searching for a stranger like a cat out in the rain
You're gonna tear the night to pieces
Then you'll finger paint the dawn
You're gonna curl up lying there just waitin'
Like a tiger on the lawn
I've got to lay low awhile
You know that I'm checkin' out of this town
I'll take a long ride
Far from this dark side
And drive this phantom down
Bad news just came by today
You said you need some place to stay
Now you're back there in the bedroom
And I'm out in the hall
Well some things are always changing
Some never change at all
