couldn't hide from the heat there was nowhere to go
and the cat on the roof, she's running for cover
deep in the jungle of a hard rockin summer

I was a young romeo tryin to find juliet
I was hot on the trail of my own silhouette
and the cat on the roof, she's crazy from hunger
she waits in the shadows of a hard rockin summer

and then the sky started falling and night hit the ground
thought I heard someone calling, the ghost of a sound
now that the cat on the roof has captured the hunter
deep in the jungle of a hard rockin summer

it was a night to remember, you know what I mean
now it's late in september and she's just a dream
and the cat on the roof, she's back under cover
and I'm just a prisoner of a hard rockin summer
