Hot Tonight - Tokyo Police Club

Standing in a world with a streetlight sun

I don’t keep my sneakers white

all I really got is a name and a buck

to get me to another life

and I wonder what you’re doing tonight.

I burn the house down

and I leave it behind

I didn’t need the money but the money was nice

I need a countdown

when the fire is high

sitting on the curb and it’s hot tonight.

2am is bright from this side of the street

tomorrow seems a year away

sitting by the fire and I saved you a seat

you’re not keeping track of days

and I wonder what you’re doing tonight.

I burn the house down

by the end of the night

my pocket’s full of nothing and it’s keeping me light

I need a countdown

when the fire is high

sitting on the curb and it’s hot tonight.

Drinking in the park

staring at the stars like a satellite dish

I had a good time

and I’m ready to die.

Nothing is enough to anyone else

I wait until they pass me by standing in a world with a streetlight sun

watch me slipping out of sight

and I wonder what you’re doing tonight.

I burn the house down

by the end of the night

I didn’t need the money but the money was nice

I need a countdown

as I’m watching it die

sitting on the curb and it’s hot tonight
