Waiting by the shoreline
|
In somalia for your reply
|
I need you to come see me
|
That's no lie
|
The guns are getting closer
|
The sweat pours like dew
|
That fell from the trees in tripoli
|
In the spring
|
|
I'm white hot
|
I can't take it anymore
|
I'm white hot
|
By the somalian shore
|
Yes i'm burning to the core
|
I need rain
|
|
Cast out from the jungle
|
With no rations or canteen
|
For selling faulty riffles
|
To the thieves in tanzania
|
|
Adventures and misfortune
|
Nothing wagered, nothing gained
|
I have wandered through the desert
|
Found the ocean not the rain
|
I can remember the nights by the strand in tripoli
|
We were so much cooler then
|
I had you and my poetry to protect me
|
We were so much younger then
|
I need rain
|
|
I'm white hot
|
I can't take it anymore
|
I'm white hot
|
By the somalian shore
|
|
I'm white hot
|
Yes i'm burning to the core
|
I need rain, I need rain, I need rain
|
|
I can remember the nights by the sea in tripoli
|
Were were so much colder then
|
I had you and my poetry to protect me
|
We were both soldiers then
|
Bolder then, colder then
|
I need rain, I need rain, I need rain
|
White hot
|
White hot...
|
Water
|
|

WHITE HOT
