It must be a hundred degrees
The air's so thick you can't breath
I see the distant white lightning
My sickness wrapped in your teeth
I don't know why
Ya don't even try
But you still drive me crazy
In the heat of the night
I will wait til you come
I learned to take my time
Watch the river run
In the heat of the night
I will wait til you come
I learned to take my time
Watch the river run
Let it run
When you hear all the screaming
August melting the streets
Hear the midnight moaning
Stillness wrapped the trees
I don't know why
Ya don't even try
But you still drive me crazy
In the heat of the night
I will wait til you come
I learned to take my time
Watch the river run
In the heat of the night
I will wait til you come
I learned to take my time
Watch the river run
Let it run
Let it run
I say run
Watch it run
In the heat of the night
I will wait til you come
I learned to take my time
Watch the river run
In the heat of the night
I will wait til you come
I learned to take my time
Watch the river run
