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 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
