Not exactly. The day was hot, too hot for fun Ninety-eight in the sun, One twenty-one in the sun Boarding down to a job interview Unemployed, no that not new At red light, Pico/Fairfax Laid homeless drunk in my path Wrinkled face, big beard and belly Peacefully passed out, kind of smelly Dinosaur-breath, lion-like snore Dreams all night liquor stores Roasting like Christmas turkey Soon to become a stick of hobo-jerkey THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT TOO HOT FOR FUN NINETY-EIGHT IN SHADE, ONE-TWENTY-ONE IN THE SUN COULD’VE SAVED HIS LIFE, KNEW THAT I COULD SHOULD’VE SAVED HIS LIFE, KNEW THAT I SHOULD BUT SOMEONE ELSE’LL HELP (WHO ) GOT TIME TO KILL GOTTA GET THIS JOB, GOTTA PAY MY BILLS THE DAY WAS HOT, THE DAY WAS HOT Meeting for 3:00, was 2:15 Time (enough) to be Samaritine Don’t get involved, (I) thought, ain’t my business It wadn’t my fault, god be my witness Could’ve dragged him out of the sun Into the shade of some nearby shrub Someone’ll help (who) got time to kill But got to get this job to pay my bills Light turned green, I’m on my way But for big-belly drunk not a good day The job, the job, the job had been taken It’d been for nothing that I’d been baking THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT TOO HOT FOR FUN NINETY-EIGHT IN SHADE, ONE-TWENTY-ONE IN THE SUN COULD’VE SAVED HIS LIFE, KNEW THAT I COULD SHOULD’VE SAVED HIS LIFE, KNEW THAT I SHOULD BUT SOMEONE ELSE’LL HELP (WHO ) GOT TIME TO KILL GOTTA GET THIS JOB TO PAY MY BILLS THE DAY WAS HOT Hour later, back at the corner Now taped off in yellow border In the middle man still asleep But now his snores and dreams ceased He done run out of his life’s lease And while I dazed in confused thought They put him in a truck and hauled him off Like a dead dog with no tag Nameless, buried in vagabond rags His old leather face I will never forget Another debit on my karmic debt THE DAY WAS HOT Missed my cue, life to save For big-belly drunk not a good day THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT THE DAY WAS HOT TOO HOT FOR FUN NINETY-EIGHT IN SHADE, ONE-TWENTY-ONE IN THE SUN COULD’VE SAVED HIS LIFE, KNEW THAT I COULD SHOULD’VE SAVED HIS LIFE, KNEW THAT I SHOULD BUT SOMEONE ELSE’LL HELP (WHO ) GOT TIME TO KILL GOTTA GET THIS JOB, TO PAY MY BILLS THE DAY WAS HOT, THE DAY WAS HOT Participam no disco: Cool Hipnoise, Da Weasel, Primitive Reason, Ithaka com Arkham Hi*Fi, Boss AC, Flood, Blasted Mechanism, Zen, Blind Zero e Ornatos Violeta.
