Lyrics and Chords


Stranger, stranger (2x)

/ C Am C Am C Am C Am / / 

It's hot here at night, lonely, black and quiet
On a hot summer night
Don't be afraid of the world we made
On a hot summer night

/ C Am C Am / / / /

'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
Yeah you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's

/ G - - - / / G - /

{Refrain}
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight
Hot in the city, hot in the city tonight, tonight

/ C Am C Am C Am C Am / /

Stranger, stranger

For all the dreams and schemes, people are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young
On a hot summer night

A sometime someone you're not
Don't wait to see what you got
'Cause you know that you're

{Refrain}

We'll walk until my feet drop
I'm a train when I'm hateful
Yeah, lay right down now
And ride until your head breaks
I'm a-walkin' 'til my brain pops
I will move with the beat now
I'm a chain 'round an A-bomb
I'm a ribbon in the heat now
New York!
