Hall & Oates - Cold, Dark, and Yesterday Lyrics

The sun beats down so slow
I feel my body heating up inside
I watch the danger zone
For signs of life, but not a soul alive

Try every trick I know
To keep my temperature from blowing sky high
Check on the time to go
Lay my spirit down to fantasize

Disembark, disconnect possibilities unknown
On the edge of a heading for heavy weather
I suspect I can tell, I can feel it in my bones
All not well but you never know
Cold dark and yesterday

Glamorama all around me
Friendly natives turning back to brown
I keep my shades well down
They cannot penetrate what can't be found

Feel the fever start to rise
Slip away in indiscreet disguise
How can a man survive when the weak meet the soft
And the heat blinds your eyes?

Left to right, up and down
It's picture postcard time
Hear the sounds, save the image in my mind
Cold dark and yesterday
