Heatwave - The Living End

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
