lyrics

In the middle of Seventh Avenue
I saw a Jaguar and a Lincoln Town car
Their owners were chasing each other around their brand new 99's
One shook a metal staff at the other while the other threw a knife

I guess it's time I bought a fan
Cause it's hotter than the Summer of Sam
I guess it's time to flee the street
Cause the people out there are acting crazy on account of this heat

They were like a large rock embedded in a stream
The traffic flowed around them smooth and clean
I couldn't believe what I saw
They kept it up until a cell-phoner gave the police a call

I guess it's time I bought a fan
Cause it's hotter than the Summer of Sam
I guess it's time to flee the street
Cause the people out there are acting crazy on account of this heat

The subway platform is pulling me
It's pulling gallons of sweat out of me
I'm hoping that the air-conditioned train will come and rescue me
Yeah I've been going to department stores to be in the AC
Spending all my money on popcorn dinners
To be in the cool air of the movies

I guess it's time I bought a fan
Cause it's hotter than the Summer of Sam
I guess it's time to flee the street
Cause the people out there are acting crazy on account of this heat

Taking showers three times a day
Luckily the water bill is my Landlord's to pay
It's hard to believe that the firetrucks I hear
Are going to a place even hotter than here

I guess it's time I bought a fan
Cause it's hotter than the Summer of Sam
I guess it's time to flee the street
Cause the people out there are acting crazy on account of this heat
