too hot to sleep

sweat rollin' down my hands and face

big fan on the screen porch turnin'

cat looking for a hidin' place

sun sinkin' but the fire's still burnin'

music playing a few doors down

i'm drawn to the sound

it's just too hot to sleep

i walk restless to the street cafe

see that's shakin' in the tropic zone

a cold corona and a twist of lime

cools me down when i'm alone

movin' closer from across the room

i've seen her before and she looks so fine

never wanted any woman more

i look at the door and she reads my mind

too hot to sleep

give up the fight

throw back the sheets

shoot out the lights

too hot to sleep

come take me higher

caught up in the heart

of the moment's fire

still burnin' in the afterglow

sun peekin' through mirrored glasses

a little groggy from the night before

feelin' wired as the day advances

can't seem to keep my mind off you

it's just no use -- it's blind desire

i wanna know that i can count on you

to throw a little gasoline on the fire

too hot to sleep

give up the fight

throw back the sheets

shoot out the lights

too hot to sleep

come take me higher

caught up in the heart

of the moment's fire
