Chicago In The Summertime Lyrics

Billy's town, central drive

I still remember those little baby cries

In the bedroom that used to be mine

Won't take it personal, it's gonna be fine

Everybody loves the lake, let's go down to the beach

I was thinking that the flatness caused this melon collie feeling

Cuz the grass is greener here than I've ever seen before

But I can't stand it, I can't stand the fake shore

The skating park made us feel cool

We got into trouble with those boys after school

Skipping home "like june bugs on a wire" to empty threat lines

We first found out that we were hot in the summertime

Four star town, down the road

Worked the front desk in a very small man's studio

Smiling through my gritted teeth, "bored by the chore"

And if you ask me now, I'll say I'm evening the score

Oh I can't stand them, I can't stand them no more

Oh I can't stand it, please just get me out

Just get me out, I can't stand it no more

I'm sending for a wave

Or anything to make things move

There's something in the way

A stillness to the way things move here

I'm sending far away

Or anything to make it go away

I'm sending far away

I'm sending for a wave
