(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
