Coffee In Heat

    I used to sit down at a coffee house in Savannah Georgia, and would occasionally fall in love with the women who would walk past. Often it would be nearly 100 degrees and humid, but I'd be there drinking coffee anyway. Sometimes, I would stop into the bar and get an adult beverage too. Some of this song is hinting at the idea that neither coffee nor daiquiris are appropriate in that sort of heat.


Lyrics

Hey you
Don’t pull me under
Drinking your coffee in the heat
‘Cause I’ve been drinking too
So don’t pull me under
Spreading your wings out over me

‘Cause I’ve been drinking too
I might until I’m blue
Like you

Look at you, 
Looking good in blue

Hey you
Don’t run me over
Clicking your high-heels down the street
Tonight I’m drinking you
And I’ll win you over
Drinking our coffee in the heat

And I’ll be drinking too
I might until I’m blue
Like you

Look at you
Looking good in blue

Recording Notes

Straight up rock tune, so mostly just guitar, bass, and programmed drums interacting. Big muff is heavily featured in this track. I also played with silence more than I tend to. I like how that worked out.
