| The hot ground burns the soles off my feet
|
| Above the sky is turning red
|
| Pray that there will be a cool change
|
| Before we all go up in flames
|
| This is a desert land where the sun burns on the sand
|
| Will it ever rain?
|
| The weatherman says it’s getting hotter
|
| But he don’t need to tell me what I already know
|
| And you wait and you wait and you wait
|
| This is a heatwave, 'cause you can’t get away, get away
|
| This is a heatwave, this is a heatwave
|
| This is a heatwave, oh
|
| Dark clouds threatening to break down
|
| Faces hiding in the shade, lightening twisted up like wire
|
| Minor birds falling out of the sky
|
| A nation melting in the sun
|
| This is a desert land where the sun burns on the sand
|
| Will it ever rain?
|
| The weatherman says it’s getting hotter
|
| But he don’t need to tell me what I already know
|
| And you wait and you wait and you wait
|
| This is a heatwave, 'cause you can’t get away, get away
|
| This is a heatwave, a heatwave
|
| A heatwave, a heatwave, a heatwave
|
| I’m not waiting for the heat to drop
|
| And I’m not waiting for the bomb to drop
|
| Time’s up now, too late
|
| What have you got?
|
| And you wait and you wait and you wait
|
| This is a heatwave
|
| 'Cause you can’t get away, get away
|
| This is a heatwave
|
| And you wait and you wait and you wait
|
| This is a heatwave, 'cause you can’t get away, get away
|
| This is a heatwave, this is a heatwave
|
| This is a heatwave, whoa |
