Two days and still no wind
To blow this heat out to sea
I lay in narcotic bliss
Feel the rivers run off me
Nothing moves, it just explodes
So many dead in the east counties
Helter swelter, gimme shelter
From these dog days without you
Why wait for night to come?
Nothing moves, it just explodes
Heat that beats us to the ground
Passion's coldness aimed at you
Suffer as all creatures do
Equal to the last
We could stare into the sun
We could stare into the sun
Two days and still no wind
To blow this heat out to sea
Three days and still no savior
Off this mountain crushing me
Nothing moves, it just explodes
As a fourth and fifth day come to be
I have four walls for shelter
What of those I can't see?
Why wait for night to come?
Nothing moves, it just explodes
Heat that beats us to the ground
Passion's coldness aimed at you
Suffer as all creatures do
Equal to the last
We could stare into the sun
We could stare into the sun
