Heat Waves Of A Mirage
Rays on the city street
look like river pools
Heat waves of a mirage
fade as evening cools
Thrills of the sultry love
feel like potent tools
Heat waves of a mirage
fade as passion cools
Boys in the party mood
act like crazy fools
Heat waves of a mirage
fade as exploit cools
Moves on the disco floor
seem like vital fuels
Heat waves of a mirage
fade as interest cools
Suns on the desert dune
look like wading pools
Heat waves of a mirage
fade as Summer cools
