Lyrics In The Heat - Stage Dolls

In The Heat

Slowly drifting on a sea of tears
Filled of heartache and pain
Friend of the bottle for so many years
Woman in chains
They say she went down
To the city of lights
Gonna be a star
Her mama still sits
On that front porch every night
Waitin' for a call
But there’s nothin' at all
Candy lived the hard life
Died a year ago
Facedown on the pavement
Covered in snow
Came into this big town
Small bag in her hand
Left this world an empty soul
And I don’t understand
It’s the same old song and dance
A gambler’s only chance
In the heat of the night
In the big city game
When you turn out the light
Feel that nothin’s the same
In the heat of the night
In the eye of the storm
There’s nowhere to run
And you’re so far from home
In the heat of the night
