Heatwave

The hot ground burns the soles of 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 weather man says "it's getting hotter"
But he don't need to tell me what I already know

A heatwave, a heatwave, a heatwave
This is a heatwave
Cause you can't get away, get away
This is a heatwave
This is a heatwave
This is a heatwave

Dark clouds threatening to breakdown
Faces hiding in the shade
Lighting twisted up like wire
Cloud herds forming out of the sky
A nation melted in the sun

This is a desert land
Where the sun burns on the sand
Will it ever rain?
The weather man says "it's getting hotter"
But he don't need to tell me what I already know

A heatwave, a heatwave, a heatwave
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, yeah!
And I'm not waiting for the bomb to drop, yeah!
Times up now, too late, what have you got?

A heatwave, a heatwave, a heatwave
This is a heatwave
Cause you can't get away, get away
This is a heatwave
A heatwave, a heatwave, a heatwave
This is a heatwave
Cause you can't get away, get away
This is a heatwave
This is a heatwave
This is a heatwave
