(j.p. maunick)



Out in the heat little child

On the streets runnin' wild

Barely tengot a gun

So now he thinks that he's a man

Yes he does



Teenage girl out to steal

'cos her baby is in need of a meal

Tryin' to cope as best she can

In the high sunshinelow on hope



Wellthere it is summer in the city

Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy



Chorus:

(du du du du du du)

One hundred and risin'

(du du du du du du)

So the tale is told

(du du du du du du)

One hundred and risin'

(du du du du du du)



Old man sitting in the shade

Won't take part in the charade

He may be oldbut he ain't a foo

L he has seen how dreams are bought and sold



On every cornera steady stream

To buy a thrilla piper's dream

While the heat takes it's toll

It's just another day on a city street



You got to do the best you can to get by

In the high sunshine



Chorus x 3



Summer madness will unfold



Tryin' to make sense of a world gone crazy

Repeat (fade)
