Animals and the Weather
It seems hotter here today,
So much hotter than yesterday.
I think it's hotter than the day before.
So much hotter than tomorrow.
I'll just fill up space
Making obvious statements on the weather.
I'm hotter than a turkey in the oven,
Hotter than a bat being boiled by a coven,
Hotter than a fish in the summer sand,
Hotter than a cat on fire.
I'll just fill up space
By comparing animals and the weather.
And then I'll kill some time
Drinking Mexican beer from Texas.
Everything feels fine.
I remember getting caught in the train.
I remember smoking cigarettes.
I don't remember getting drunk in Kentucky.
I remember winning money on a horse.
I was lucky.
So I'll fill up space
With stories from the past.
And then I'll kill some time
Singing songs.
I wish that this summer would last.
