You said you're so thirsty
you'd even drink my tears.
put them into glasses
let's toast away all the years
We're riding a wave
we're riding a wave
of a dry spell
riding a wave
of a dry, dry, ha!, dry, dry spell
Laying down in the withering grass,
memories of lush decanting,
waiting for that time to pass,
even our shadows are panting
We're riding a wave
we're riding a wave
of a dry, dry, dry, dry spell
Ho!
Ha! I've tried for so very long
to push up some green sprout
all my efforts are very well spent
blowing away in this aching drought
We're riding a wave
we're riding a wave
dry, ho!, dry spell
riding awa-a-a-a-ve
of a dry, dry, dry spell
My mind's a hazy blur
my parched lips are cracked
all is dessication
late afternoon heart attacks
We're riding a wave
we're riding a wave
we're riding a wave
of a dry dry spell
