How's It Out There In The Heat

How's it out there in the heat

They say they miss you in Poughkeepsie

I need a place that I can go

Where there ain't a soul but you that knows me

Ain't a soul

I've been keeping company

With expatriates and gypsies

Drive across the sweet midwest to me

I found peace

Sounds like a hammer's coming down

I found peace

Sounds like a hammer's coming down

Sounds like that river's drying out

I miss you like my childhood bed

Somehow you're both the same thing

I need to see your crystal eyes again

And watch them burn a hole right through me

Burn a hole

So are you living in an honest house

Are you working for a living

Or are you sleeping on some drunk girl's couch

I found peace

Sounds like a hammer's coming down

I found peace

Sounds like a hammer's coming down Sounds like that river's drying out

Looks like that river's drying out

How's it out there in the heat

Are you still writing for a living

Will you tell the story of our death

When you tell it, am I living

How's it out there in the heat
