Hot Night In A Cold Town

(albüm: Nothin' Matters And What If It Did - 1980)

Sonny's out strolling, ambling slowly
Washed in amber street lights
A Mexican wind blows in
Taking ahold of Angelina's hair and her halo
Motors running muffling the sound
Of street talk, a big deal's going down

[Chorus:]
It's another hot night
In a cold town
Got yourself a hot night
In a cold town

Johnny's got spare change in his pocket
And a ring and a watch to hock for a sweet ride
A one way ticket hidden in his shoe
These last few hours
He says he'll spend with you
He's leaving home without a trace
No forwarding address he'll never have to face another...

[Chorus]

Well the losers and the groovers
And the corner boys are hanging 'round
Running in and out of doorways
Up and down the stairs
Stray dogs headed for the pound

[Chorus]
