When The Heat Hits The Streets Lyrics



(Linda Schreyer/Cappy Capossela)



You don't know if you're awake or dreaming

The sky is still and the city is screaming

You don't hear a sound but there's something in the air 

You don't know where you're going to be going

Your body is tired but the night keeps calling

Pushing you further and taking you higher

Turning your smoke into fire 



When the heat hits the street

It's gonna rock you off your feet

The pavement's moving to the beat

When the heat hits the street

You can lose yourself in the neon light

And your heartbeat echoes the sound of the night

If you have no name and you have it all 

If you lose yourself you can find your soul in the night 

When the heat hits the street



You're alone and your thoughts are racing 

Was it real or a dream you're chasing

You had it all but you let it slip away 

Searching the streets and the music's playing 

Somebody's calling but you're still waiting

You're going further and you're going you higher

Turning your smoke into fire 



When the heat hits the street

It's gonna rock you off your feet

Oh, the pavement's moving to the beat 

When the heat hits the street

You can lose yourself in the neon light

And your heartbeat echoes the sound of the night

If you have no name and you have it all 

If you lose yourself you can find your soul in the night 

When the heat hits the street



And you're racing with the wind

Moving so fast you're leaving time behind 

You're not coming back again

Going someplace 

Where no one has ever been



When the heat hits the street

It's gonna rock you off your feet

Oh, the pavement's moving to the beat 

When the heat hits the street
