summer's back / ladies' toes exposed like plumber crack and the street's heating up / beating up the night spots and sidewalk cafés / streets filling up with more butt than ash trays / last days of spring behind us / winter long gone nothing left to remind us / nights get shorter like the skirts on girls / after hot rollers touched down and worked them curls / big city / pretty little Brooklyn birds / young flirts experts at being observed / t-shirts get work rather be in a fur / but not today 'cause it's way too hot
I feel a change in the weather
It ain't never been hot like this / for real yo / I wonder if Iraq's like this / I feel those fellas in the desert underneath the sun suited up in fatigues pack weighing a ton / while back home it's all fun / their daughters and sons shooting water guns 'til it's dark and the evening comes / and it's hot 'til the stars and the moon come out / with the news all about dry spells and drought / and it's been weeks since I've seen one cloud / wipe my brow / thinking 'bout how I'd like to see one now / hottest weather that I ever could remember / and it's strange 'cause it's only December
I feel a change in the weather
I can't believe I'm the only one who sees what's up / when the winter hits a hundred three degrees and up / and the level of the sea starts creeping up / heating up like the planet ain't diseased enough / is it a campaign to leave the whole earth aflame? / or just a damn shame knowing we're the first to blame? / in a burst of pain maybe we can work a change / but y'all were laying in the sun until the nurses came / while hurricane season's breathing down our neck once more / and according to Al Gore more are just off shore / meanwhile we're engaged in a war to secure cheap oil to feed the problem when we should be finding a cure / signing accords before we're in too deep / and it's too late to make it cease / to say the least / no one here can take the heat / but even cats like me can be afraid to speak / 'cause my god what mall rat is gonna bump this in their iPod? / my job ain't to make you think it's to get you on the floor after too many drinks / even though we're standing at the brink
I feel a change in the weather
