Hot summer night in the city, it’s really no place to be
Taxicabs, running the red lights and buildings blocking out the breeze
forget about the world outside our windowpane
I pity all the suckers as they try
CHORUS
Let’s get lazy, lazy, lay down beside me
Maybe, maybe, we’ll lay through the night
I can’t hold onto time but I can hold onto you
We’ll sing lazy, lullabies til the skies turn blue
Let’s close the door to the outside and don’t you let the, city in
Throw off the blankets, kill all the lights and pour me some ice over gin
Pull down all the blinds, so we can hide away
Sing a lullaby for you and i
CHORUS
Turn off, that damn alarm cause, you ain’t going anywhere
Let’s order in, pretend it’s the weekend, it’s not like anybody cares
forget about the world outside our windowpane
I pity all the suckers as they try
CHORUS
