This is our little ode to the hot and sticky Southern Ontario summer in the city. Katie McBride came in an killed the horns on it.

lyrics

It's Getting Hot - Red Falcon / White Lightning

Cab driver take me to the nearest bar my lips are parched/
They're dry and aching for the fall/
'Cause Summer's stickin' to my greasy bones like tar on pavement/
She burns my back, and chokes my lungs/

She's killin' shady trees, dries them out and wilts their leaves/
Heatwaves? I've endured my share, but she's aiming for despair/

I hammer nails through shingles, sweat until my body tingles/
I can't escape her burning gaze/
Summer won't leave me be, I stick to clothes and to my sheets/
Keep stumblin' through her smog and haze/

I've had it up to here, with her suffocating atmosphere/
Heatwaves? I've endured my share, but this feels like an electric chair/

'Cause it's getting hot/ Yeah, it's getting hot/
There 'aint no sign/ She's gonna stop/
It's getting hot in here/

The city staggers like a fall down drunk with bugged out eyes/
Dog tired and livin' sleep deprived/
While the sea of traffic hisses, groans, and blows it's tail pipe kisses/
Teeth gnash and slowly tempers rise/
She's a sadistic mother, pit's us up against our brothers/
She wants to watch it go to fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, cab driver take me to the nearest bar my lips are parched and
Aching for the fall to come along/
Because Summer's stickin' to our greasy bones like tar on pavement/
Burning backs, and choking' healthy lungs/

Is it time to just give in? I'm convinced we can never win/
She's got us down on our knees, begging for sweet release/
