Outside the heat rises So much it hypnotizes People into unwanted slumber They fall over like fresh cut lumber Their heart rate slows Their temperature grows Their minds implode In this episode Of unbearable conditions In this rendition I try to be brave I try to save A humble knave In this heat wave I fail as I try And I too, die

Heat Wave
Outside the heat rises So much it hypnotizes People into unwanted slumber They fall over like fresh cut lumber Their heart rate slows Their temperature grows Their minds implode In this episode Of unbearable conditions In this rendition I try to be brave I try to save A humble knave In this heat wave I fail as I try And I too, die
