Noisy Night

When last July

Like a soaking sheet came down

Like a broken hose soaking the ground

You were not around

Some of us held true to form

Well in the summer

Yeah in the dog days the attic gets warm

So we stayed in just to see the sweat

On someone else's skin

Now it's a noisy, noisy night

And you can't hear the kissing for the fights

Ice in your gin, crickets on ten

Underneath the yellow bug light

Well it's a noisy, noisy night

And you stumble towards the warmth of something bright

Ice down your chin, crickets on ten

Underneath the yellow bug light

When next April comes around

And you feel the stiffness go out of this town

What will have changed and who will engage

These summer currents 'cause you know I'm down

Or will we drift out in the yard

Linger too long against the hood of your car

And take that as enough

To get us through, well it's tough

Now it's a noisy, noisy night

And you can't hear the kissing for the fights

Ice in your gin, crickets on ten

Underneath the yellow bug light

Yeah it's a noisy, noisy night

And this whole town's got its mouth open wide

Ice down your chin, who let these jokers in?

Baby let's just go for a ride

It's a noisy night
