I think I saw My shadow running away, Im not religious but I thought I would pray, Damned if I went but Damned if I stay, In the heat of the day, The sun is blinding and the field's ablaze, The asphault dances and the salted air plays, No clouds around not a single stray, In the heat of the day, The fire's burning but the skin has turned gray, No other life around out on display, There was a pond now a circle of clay, In the heat of the day, Someone once told us that we'd have to pay, So we suffer and we work this way, Its never enough and its never okay, In the heat of the day,
