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
