Lyrics
the heat is pouring 
down the street 
outside 

meanwhile i am 
in here 
cool 
refreshed 

watching 
Valeri pouring 
beers that vanish 
to other places 
in this fine old establishment 

i sit alone 

i can see out 
across the street 
through the window behind 
me 

reflected 
in the mirror 
hiding behind the bottles 

times 
have changed 
indeed 
the minis are 
gone 
replaced 
by other minis 

yet it seems 
vaguely 
possible 
that the cycle will close 
once again 

the air 
has that smell 
of rebellion 
the stifling 
heat 
amplifies it 

we are in 
a new place 
yet i am 
in an old place 

i lift up 
my sweating mug 
and swallow hard 

some things never 
change

Cool tune and great lyrics. The vocals fit the words and the mood precisely. Love the groove the music sets for the words.
Wish I could remember what I was doing 42 years ago, but I'm sure it involved cruising around my hometoen with my high school buddies.
Thansk for sharing.
