Lyrics
'A Summer In Hell' - words and music by Mark S. Ludes (MSL) ©
V.1
Well movin's never easy. It always takes its toll.
I don't like losing friends, or the places that I go.
For me it's not so easy, though some take it all in stride.
Move in, move out another sad goodbye, bye, bye.
V.2
Had to move to Arizona, in the middle of nowhere.
All I saw was dirt and sun, and cactus everywhere.
Sometimes you go where your work takes you and you do what you must do.
But sometimes you have to ask the Man, what did I do to you?
Chorus:
Well it got so hot I could hardly stand that heat.
Sunshine, so bright, and burning down on me.
Sunscreen, sunglasses, but really no relief.
Felt just like I was spending me a summer in Hell.
Break - solo...
bridge... Got to find me a way to cool down.
Got to find me a way out of town.
Chorus:
Well it got so damn hot. I could hardly stand that heat.
Sunshine, so bright, and beating, beating down on me.
Sunscreen, sunglasses, but really no relief.
It felt just like I was spending me a summer in Hell.
