(Oates)


The sun beats down so slow

I feel my body heating up inside

I watch the danger zone

For signs of life but not a soul alive

Try every trick I know

To keep my temperature from blowing sky high

Check on the time to go

Lay my spirit down to fantasize

Disembark disconnect possibilities unknown

On the edge of a heading for heavy weather

I suspect I can tell I can feel it in my bones

All not well but you never know...

Cold Dark and Yesterday


Glamorama all around me

Friendly natives turning back to brown

I keep my shades well down

They cannot penetrate what can't be found

Feel the fever start to rise

Slip away in indiscreet disguise

How can a man survive when the weak meet the soft

And the heat blinds your eyes

Left to right up and down it's picture postcard time

Hear the sounds save the image in my mind

Cold Dark and Yesterday
