In The Heat - Stage Dolls

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
