It was a night to remember, a fire down below

couldn't hide from the heat there was nowhere to go

and the cat on the roof, she's running for cover

deep in the jungle of a hard rockin summer



I was a young romeo tryin to find juliet

I was hot on the trail of my own silhouette

and the cat on the roof, she's crazy from hunger

she waits in the shadows of a hard rockin summer



and then the sky started falling and night hit the ground

thought I heard someone calling, the ghost of a sound

now that the cat on the roof has captured the hunter

deep in the jungle of a hard rockin summer



it was a night to remember, you know what I mean

now it's late in september and she's just a dream

and the cat on the roof, she's back under cover

and I'm just a prisoner of a hard rockin summer
