What shall we do now then, Jerry? Nothing's on my mind August heat has come and set The tenements on fire If the night brings jasmine on the breeze Everybody looks like police See the light see the shade Are you afraid? Am I afraid? Pick me up or let me fall or change me all around With the afternoon in darkness, Will it still come round? See the light, feel the heat See the faces in the street See the stars see the sky Like a razor on mine And the people drift down from the avenues and lines With coat and shoes I'm on my knees What shall we do now then, Jerry? Nothing's in my heart All my life my hands are empty Haunted in the dark If I fall in love with you Are we one or am I too? This is all I know That my life is so
