121 Degrees

With a renewed sense of urgency They all fled back home to the scene Of the cinders burning bright Where it started they don't know But how it spread so fast is obvious Over this dry and desiccated land Pieces of ash float in the air Sun turns to red Can't help but stare As I speed by on the bike Escalating year after year Before the thirst can be quenched by the rains that Never seem to appear Hotter and hotter every year Grab a bucket And douse your head Anything to keep yourself Hydrated The summertime heat is Accelerated There's a tension Lingering in the air From the smell of smoke And the black cloud overhead Ten thousand acres burned And it's just drawing closer As we sit here At home in the driveway It's time to grab the pets A bag of clothes And the drumset And make a break for the road Our things may burn Most is replaceable As long as we all make it out together Hotter and hotter every year Why must we live in fear? We all can do more than just shed a tear It's hotter and hotter every year Hotter and hotter every year Why must we live in fear? We all can do more than just shed a tear It's hotter and hotter The sky can't hold her rain The ice has all melted away The ocean is up to our knees When the earth begins to seize The quaking in the ground In tidal waves the cities drown And the radiating heat 121 degrees The sky can't hold her rain The ice has all melted away The ocean is up to our knees When the earth begins to seize The quaking in the ground In tidal waves the cities drown And the radiating heat 121 degrees The sky can't hold her rain The ice has all melted away The ocean is up to our knees When the earth begins to seize The quaking in the ground In tidal waves the cities drown And the radiating heat 121 degrees
