Imagine Houston in the middle of July |
|
Hotter than a pistol on a saturday nite |
|
Your baby's on the front porch with a bamboo fan |
|
As you pull up to the curb in your black sedan |
|
It don't take her long she knew you were comin |
|
With a slam of the screen she's off and she's runnin |
|
Now she's sittin there beside you you forget about the heat |
|
You leave your troubles at the curb and take your passion to the street |
|
With a steam-heated love |
|
With a burning desire and a tropical fire in your blood |
|
With a steam-heated love |
|
That hurricane feelin it's got you reelin, |
|
You can't even wait for the flood! |
|
You put your arm around her and you tell her the news |
|
And the white lines and the freeways they twist like a fuse |
|
While the Pilgrims from the East with their U-Haul trailors |
|
Build cities out of canvas just like shipwrecked sailors |
|
And the asphalt sweats while the welders weld |
|
And your wheels are hotter than the hinges of hell |
|
And you better watch your step if you're just standing around |
|
Because the buildings ain't constructed they erupt from the ground |
|
Chorus |
|
Outro |
|
The parking lots are steaming with a street sweepers mist |
|
Just the perfect atmosphere to steal a little kiss |
|
And you notice that the moon has been coated with chrome |
|
As it begins to rise beside the Astrodome. |
