Huckabuck

They say opposites attract.
If you don't get me, I'll get you back.
Hot as blazes. Cold as doom.
Wilting faces in the ladies room.

Hotter than a huckabuck.
Cool as a cucumber.
Seems we're running out of luck
On this canvas of burnt umber.

Everyone's now leaving.
They're not just standing by
To watch the sun start peeling
From that effervescent sky,

Or falling from the ceiling
As the neighbor heaves a sigh.
From what it is you're sweating
There is no getting dry.

She is splashing in the sink.
Call a lifeguard, he needs a drink.
Empty cities, empty streets.
Tires are melting from the heat.

A crying lady at the store
Gets her soda and a few things more.
She is thirsty to her core.
Cool your temper. Close the door.

Wake up dreaming.
Fever break.
Then start screaming,
For goodness' sake.
