Living in the city can be tough on you Got to get away once in a while Hope I'll see you when the day is through Ready for a change of style (2? ORIGINAL ALBUM VERSION ONLY) People moving here and moving there Everybody's got routine Looking closely at their own affairs With never a change of scene (BRIDGE 1) So in the heat don't be shy Use your imagination Now it's complete () Sunshine and heat Surround you on tar beach I will meet you there (On tar beach) Where you can lose Those city blues I will meet you there (On tar beach) Sunshine and heat Surround you on tar beach I will meet you (2) So many situations from day to day The circle is turning so fast And who is loving who need I say Tell me how long will it last? (3) So uncertain what the future holds We never know what to expect Searching for that person we are told Love will be its effect (BRIDGE 2) We hold the key to control Our own destination Turn it and you'll see (REPEAT) Sunshine and heat Surround you on tar beach I will meet you there (On tar beach) Where you can lose Those city blues I will meet you there (On tar beach) Sunshine and heat Surround you on tar beach I will meet you there (REPEAT TO FADE)
