Watch It Burn

Cool nights and mild days will continue.
No rain for the foreseeable future. Drought conditions are going to worsen.

Got that dry high pressure parked right overhead
Got the grass turned yellow and the creek beds dead
Nights down in the forties got me pulling up my collar
Daytime in the seventies makes a poor boy holler
Light winds blowing while the ground gets baked
Got a swaggering strut on a sun-cracked lake

Relative humidity is dipping every afternoon
Foreseeable future under this pale moon
No clouds coming to save this place
Got a slick little grin carved on my face

Nights in the forties, seventies in the sun
Ain't no rain coming till the summer is done
Drought is getting worse, fire risk is high
I'm just standing back and I watch it burn
Yeah I love to watch it burn

Wednesday night coming with the same old scene
Not a drop of water where the lawn was green
Dry high pressure in control, running the show
We're sinking in the bone-dry air, nowhere to go
Let the soil dry out, let the river run thin
I'm just lighting up a smoke with a cocky little grin

Relative humidity is dipping every afternoon
Foreseeable future under this pale moon
No clouds coming to save this place
Got a slick little grin carved on my face

Nights in the forties, seventies in the sun
Ain't no rain coming till the summer is done
Drought is getting worse, fire risk is high
I'm just standing back and I watch it burn
Yeah I love to watch it burn

High pressure holding tight
Forties in the cool of night
Seventies all through the day
Watch it burn, watch it burn away!
Yeah, watch it burn!
