Fleet Foxes - In The Hot, Hot Rays lyrics

Heat like a dead weight
Still covering the street outside
So heavy that the dogs can't hide
In the hot, hot rays

Out on the sidewalk
It's a river where the children go
Come and join in the August show
In the hot, hot rays in the hot, hot rays
In the hot rays I get old

I could never know what the dead man sees
I could never know what the deaf man hears
Or know what the dead man fears
Even if you were incomplete

Brother let it go and I'll find my way
If you want to know Indian summer
I will get it back in a week somehow
Under the fog, underneath the fog

I try and play God
Do my best to keep the heat at bay
Maybe that would make you want to stay
In the hot, hot rays in the hot, hot rays
In the hot, hot rays
