Been thinking ‘bout a time, Maria
A time that has gone past
You been looking for a feeling, baby
And feeling nothing fast
Yeah I thought about St. Lawrence and the Perseids
We never were this blue when we were kids
So come on out tonight
Oh baby we’ll be brand new
These are the dog days
This laying around won’t do
Out in the street, babe
We’ll be dancing all the fireworks away
While the band plays
These are the dog days
Been thinking how you shine, Maria
With roses in your hair
The ball game’s on the radio
The sound of old Tejano’s in the air
I know that madness in your mind
The thirst upon your lips
And all the dreams that burn like lightning
Through your fingertips
And I wonder if you know that I’ve been
Wondering where you been
I wonder if you want to start again?
So come on out tonight
Oh baby we’ll be brand new
These are the dog days
This laying around won’t do
Out in the heat, babe
We’ll be dancing all the fireworks away
While the band plays….
So come on out tonight
Oh baby we’ll be brand new
These are the dog days
This laying around won’t do
Out in the street, babe
We’ll be dancing by that riverwalk cafe
While the band plays
These are the dog days
