Heat In The Street (Live 1978)

The pressure's all I'm feelin'

It's the air in the street

Somewhere I'm dealin'

I've got to be discrete

I'm dreamin' up a number

And when you hear the sound

Y'all know that I'm feelin'

Feelin' of comin' around

Comin' around to see ya

I couldn't let you down

If I can't go out and see ya

I'll get there underground

You know you got what I want

And I've got what you need

We should be keepin' ourselves inside

There's heat in the street

The street is made of fire

I will not get burnt

Why wait to retire

To get what I have earned

I'm stayin' undercover

Till the time to meet

Not today maybe tomorrow

Cause there's heat in the street

I can take it people

Because I've found the shade

I travel incognito

That's part of the price I pay

You know you got what I want

And I've got what you need

We should be keepin' ourselves inside

There's heat in the street

The temperature is climbin'

And the air is thick

Can't affect my timin'

I've been movin' quick

I won't be made a fool of

You'd better take a seat

I've just gotta cool off

Cool off the heat in the street

Comin' around to see ya

I couldn't let you down

If I can't go out and see ya

I'll get there underground

You know you got what I want

And I've got what you need

We should be keepin' ourselves outside

Forget about the heat in the street
