Ninety degrees
No cooling centers
What shall we do with?
No cooling centers?
Sunscreen clad
We flock to the beaches
Scorching bleached sand
We flock to the beaches.
Deadly yet welcome
The snow haters welcome
A singed planet Earth
The snow haters welcome.
The snow haters welcome
A singed planet Earth
And flock to the beaches
From no cooling centers.
