Sweet summer night but I'm stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking, the AC squeaks and
A voice from the clock says, "You're not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skin's gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and I'm so relieved
You slide down your stairs to the heated street
The sun has left us with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you and go out

It doesn't really matter, I'll go where you feel
Hump for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip up your sleeves and I'll ditch my socks
Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes,
Nowhere to go while our bodies blow
But we'll greet the dawn with morning blues
In purple yards we'll be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you

When the sun goes down, we'll go out again
When the sun goes down, we'll get wet again
Don't cool off, I like your walk--

I see the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
It's easy to sleep when it whets my brain
I took my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through the window screen
It's a restless cause that I cannot hide
So much of my mind, man, it spills outside
Do you want to go stroll down the financial streets?
A couple might get soaked, but the buildings sleep
Because there's no one pushing for a place
The ins and outs of an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
Just you, just you, just you.
