Lyrics

Hasn't rained in weeks, the sky's a glaring light
I'm lying naked on my bed, sweating through the night
Water's just a trickle when I turn the faucet on
I can't shower cold, those days are gone
I'm down to half a bottle, the fridge stands nearly bare
No car allowed, they say the engine could spark the air
Still, I need some food — so I drag my feet
Thirty minutes in the scorching street
I've got these heatwave blues, everything's on fire
The shelves are empty, hearts growing dire
Prices soaring high for just a drop of relief
We're stuck in this season of endless grief
Oh, I wish that winter could save me soon
But my broken heater won't carry the tune
This climate change is messing with my mind
Heatwave blues, no solace to find
At the store, I see just fish in cans and popcorn on the shelf
No bread for days, the manager says, "We've got nothing else"
Water costs ten times more than it used to be
I grab three bottles, two fish tins, pop some corn for free
My body's tired, and my spirit's worn
There's no sign of clouds, no chance for a storm
I head back home, each step a weight
Praying for nighttime but it's still too late
I've got these heatwave blues, everything's ablaze
I can barely breathe in this scorching haze
Prices climbing higher for each precious sip
Feels like the whole world's about to slip
Oh, I'd trade it all for a cold embrace
But my heating's shot in winter's place
This climate crisis is wearing me thin
Heatwave blues, will we ever win?
Sweat drips down my back, I'm living in a drought
Can't drive, can't shower, can't scream or shout
A bowl of popcorn, some herring on the side
This is all that's left of our foolish pride
I've got these heatwave blues, can't shake the flame
Nature's warning, but we're all to blame
Each drop of water — oh, how it's desired
Like gold in a world that's parched and tired
I long for winter's icy touch
Yet the heater's broken, not worth much
Climate change has cut me to the bone
Heatwave blues — I'm stranded and alone
(Climate change has cut me to the bone)
(Heatwave blues — I'm stranded and alone)
