Parasols

The city’s glowing
I’m lying naked on the floor
No breeze is blowing
Through the stock of parasols
A massive beam of sunlight
Beauties on the run
In need of shadows
But this summer’s yet to come

Found a drop of water
In the harshest desert land
As I tried to lick it up
It got soaked into the sand

Mama told me get out of the sun
But I wanna tan like everyone
Please don’t let it ever go away
But I feel the heat is killing me

Like a chronic fever
Sweaty sleepless nights
Can you feel the fire
Of arid landscapes burning bright
We’re slowly drying up
In that ever-growing heat
I gotta keep my head afloat
In a sea of melting streets

Mama told me get out of the sun
But I wanna tan like everyone
Please don’t let it ever go away
But I feel the heat is killing me

Mama told me get out of the sun ...
Mama told me get out of the sun
Someone blast me with a water gun!

Mama told me get out of the sun
But I wanna tan like everyone
Please don’t let it ever go away
But I feel the heat is killing me
