Detective - Wild Hot Summer Nights

Darkness falls upon the city
The smell of violence fills the air
Somebody raped another woman, yeah, yeah
A gunman killed another man

Situation critical
And gangs are runnin' in the streets
(Oh, everywhere)
A baby cries for his mother's pity
As a tenement house burns with the heat

Wild, hot summer nights
Burnin' with the city lights
The situation, the situation is gettin' out of hand
Newspapers carry the story through the land

Music blarin' out the window
It's just too hot to fall asleep
(It's too hot, baby)
Two million souls are up in action
There's nothin' to do but roam the streets

The situation critical
Corruption's awake and on the prowl
Cop car, there's a call from the guetto
As a rookie cop dies and gets a medal



Wild, hot summer nights
Burnin' with the city lights
The situation, the situation is gettin' out of hand
Newspapers carry the story through the land

Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
Wild, hot summer nights
