Wake up halfway through the night

Throw my covers on the floor


Need more clothes

Smaller clothes

Lighter flimsy clothes


Need to swim

But I got work to do

Only time I've got

Is when it's just a little cold


Cut my hair off

Cut it all off

I don't really want to

But it's so hot and damp

Clinging to the back of my neck


So hot that even the bugs

Stop biting me

Exhausted and burning

Our only thing in common


Trying to get a tan

But the sun's so strong

I end up burning


Can't eat anything hot

Burns my tongue and my tummy
