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 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
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, yeah
And I'm not waiting
for the bomb to drop, yeah
Times 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
