LYRICS Like a raindrop She’ll be comin’ down She’ll be comin’ over And we’ll become unwound
Like a raindrop Like a raindrop She’ll be comin’ down
I’ve never seen the son of God But I know Mary and she’s smokin’ on a cross I’ve always wondered about love Can it be real, or do we make it up?
Like a raindrop She’ll be comin’ down Sugar cubes and clovers Four leaves to be found
Like a raindrop Like a raindrop She’ll be comin’ down

Lyrics: I’ve been moving how I want And way too lit to function While we’re at the function We met in the Summer House Feeling pretty out there Is anybody out there?
Taking another shot Just enough to feel a lot I try tasting on lunar rocks Don't look down or you might get caught Inside the wave I’ve got to twist the knife Just enough to save my life Now we’re standing in the restaurant Like anybody out there
This piston is pumping My ripple reflection And this hotel is jello The echo of my ego
Getting lost inside the walls And shaky in the transport I think I need an escort
We go to find our room Melting into the groove This time the lights seem to guide us through I know just what I want to do And the stars above Seem closer now We all can’t help But move in circles You make it alright It’s trippy luvHot Flash Heat Wave - Bay BoysHot Flash Heat Wave2022-02-11 | LP3 'Sportswear' is out now: ingrv.es/sportswear-god-p

LYRICS Eat me alive So sick of sedentary life It’s time to stir up the pot Meet me out in the parking lot
Wind me up watch me go into the night time Gas me up like a shot hitting the mainline Searching for something like pacification Roaming on the streets with no destination
Feel what you feel Addicted to a story That you know isn’t real A switchblade allegory
Cruisin with the bay boys Riding to the edge of the earth No one’s gonna stop the bay boys Ride or die til the end
The road is my love Like the leather stud fit of a glove And when I forget who I am She’ll always take me right back again
Cuz when everything is said and done Baby I was born to run So the second I’m feelin a little vacation Skipping this town with no hesitation
Fear like a phantom Running from your shadow But it seeps in like a venom The dream you live is hollow
Cruisin with the bay boys Riding to the edge of the earth No one’s gonna stop the bay boys Ride or die til the end
Cruisin with the bay boys Light it up and watch it burn No one’s gonna stop the bay boys Try and you’re gonna learnHot Flash Heat Wave - Where Im @Hot Flash Heat Wave2021-12-12 | This single is off of HFHW's third album 'Sportswear', out now: ingrv.es/sportswear-god-p

LYRICS
You know I see it When you meet me where I am Sometimes I don’t get it And then you help me understand
I’m still learning how to be who I am To escape from all the fear and violence And I hope that you can see I’m trying I don’t want you to leave, so I’ll make you believe
So we start our new chapter And we make our mistakes But it doesn’t matter I know we’ll be ok
We’re closer until we fall apart Then it’s over ’til we find a new start Somehow I always end up in your arms And this time that’s where I want to stay
Stuck in my head so I lay in my bed and think about it I’m in demand until I’m in your hand and then you doubt it Maybe it’s just how the story goes Even the good ones have to close I would be fine living out on my own If only I could just be alone
It’s where I’m at
You know I see it When you meet me where I am Sometimes I don’t get it Can you help me understand?Hot Flash Heat Wave - m o t i o n s (Official Video)Hot Flash Heat Wave2021-10-29 | This single is off of HFHW's third album 'Sportswear', out now: ingrv.es/sportswear-god-p

• Lyrics • All of a sudden the game is through I lost it all Moonlight on the passenger seat of the car Moving through the night Out to the end Can we start again?
Going through the motions Rhythm and emotion Feels like a game we play Running inside my brain Going with the motion Driving to the ocean Falling through the frame I see Streetlight passing over me
Go with the motion
Don’t really know why You’d throw it all away (Shining lights) Slide across the glass Put me in a trance Moving through clear water In a pool painted black Then acting out a pattern In endless repetition Holding out for something To set my life In motion
‘Cause I’ve been swimming in quicksand We’re go through it
Going through the motions Rhythm and emotion (a way out) Feels like a game we play Running inside my brain (run away) Going with the motion Driving to the ocean Falling through the frame I see Streetlight passing over me
Going through the motions Rhythm and emotion Feels like a game we play Running inside my brain Going with the motion Drive into the ocean Falling through the frame I see Streetlight passing over me
After everything we’ve been through The rise and fall Picking up And moving on Just to go through it all Again
Jump into the ocean Everything so distant Coasting on a vision (just a fantasy) Jumping off a cliff and (fall) Falling to our destiny Guess it's time to grow some wings And learn to fly away Fly awayHot Flash Heat Wave - VampiresHot Flash Heat Wave2021-10-08 | This is a single off of HFHW's third album 'Sportswear', out now: ingrv.es/sportswear-god-p

LYRICS
C’mon shake it just like it’s a bad habit Burn it down to the filter on your cigarette ‘Til you’re pulling at the end of the rope Hit the bottle ‘til you’re back to the rocks And don’t you let ‘em bite your style Velvet tongues and their plastic smiles Oh, the cold blood casanovas They’ll get you if you let them
It’s draining Giving more than you wanted Playing into their pockets They act like monsters in coffins So beware, baby You better watch your neck The world is a vampire
You got nowhere to run Got your finger on the trigger of your silver bullet gun But they just keep on coming back for more Until you’re rotten all the way to the core So play the game, take the L We’ll save you a pretty little place in hell The operators are standing by But there’s no one who can take your call
It’s draining Giving more than you wanted Playing into their pocket Colder than monsters in coffins So beware, baby You better watch your neck They’ll make you a monster Yeah, the world is a vampire
Don’t let ‘em getcha Ooh yeah, The world, the world, world is a vampire So watch your neckHot Flash Heat Wave - m o t i o n sHot Flash Heat Wave2021-06-11 | This is a single off of HFHW's third album 'Sportswear', out now: ingrv.es/sportswear-god-p

• Lyrics • Sometimes we all wanna let it fall Sometimes we just gotta let it hit the wall
I’m falling, bleeding Fake a smile and wave, I’ll be fine again Spinning out, fading now Going down, we’re going down
It’s all in my head It’s all in my head It’s all in my head Yeah it’s all in my head
Angel, whisper in my ear Tell me the things I need to hear Just say something
Sinking, drowning Hang up the phone when you know I’m calling Crying out, screaming now No one’s around

------------------------------ Official Live Video of Sky So Blue by Hot Flash Heat Wave Recorded and shot by Stefan Mac at North Dwarf Records
LYRICS With the grass so green Sun coating everything That day felt a lot like walking through a dream And with the sky so blue We snuck into the church at school To play a song while no one else was watching us
With the sun so bright Walking side by side Let me tell you that nothing ever felt so right And with the sky so blue A feeling in my heart strings grew It was then I knew that I would fall in love with you
So blue Sky so blue So blue Just like a dream
I can see those skies clear in my mind Frozen in time, frozen in time Like a scene I picked from my dreams I can’t tell apart from reality I hope that I can find my way out Before I get caught in fantasy world And get too wrapped up in what it could be Back on my bullshit, I’m such an Aries So I break down, stuck in my doubts Jump too far in just to fall out Things aren’t the way I thought them to be There’s so many miles still set forth for me Hop in the car, take the top down And when we get out, drive it around Clouds part ways and now I can see The sky is blue above me
-------------------------------------------------- Official Live Video of Head in the Clouds by Hot Flash Heat Wave Recorded and shot by Stefan Mac at North Dwarf Records
• Lyrics • Girl, you’re bringing out the worst side of me Tune in and out of your frequency Fuck the weather the sun is never shining down on me Girl, I wish that I had a plan I just get high and lay in my bed Writing x’s over days ‘til your jet plane flies away
I know I should have expected it But I’m just a fucking kid I’ll never turn on my phone again And I don’t know why I even try
Came around head in the clouds again Thinking too loud can’t hear a word that you said You said, girl been driving into a dead end We played a game now it’s all pretend The sun sets on the horizon For you
I know I should have expected it But I’m just a fucking kid I’ll never turn on my phone again And I don’t know why I even try

-- LYRICS Remember the nights and all the dreams we had that made us into who we are And all those days talking about the the future seem like distant cars that drove right past
Cause now we’re in our gold years Drops of rain are falling Never found a reason to ever let them go
Cause now we’re in our gold years Silver rain is falling Still can’t find a reason to ever let them go I’ll never let them go
Remember the days lying on your doorstep Made us change our lives before we knew That it’s easy to stray as we’re getting older But I hope you know I want you back
Cause now we’re in our gold years Drops of rain are falling Never found a reason to ever let them go

-- LYRICS Try to tell you how I’m feelin’ I really thought we had a spark Then you treat me like a villain While you’re creeping in the dark Maybe you’re the criminal, yeah yeah yeah
Bye bye, baby I really hate to see you go But the way you treat me last night Had me lying on the floor I said bye bye, baby You know, I thought you were the one And when you shot me down, Felt like you dropped me with a gun So bye bye, baby
Feelings change just like the weather And when it rains it really pours The more we try to hold on tighter The more we start to feel ignored I think that I’ll be on my way, yeah yeah yeah
Bye bye baby I really hate to see you go But the way you treat me last night had me lying on the floor I said bye bye baby You know, I thought you were the one And when you shot me down Felt like you dropped me with a gun Yeah with a gunHot Flash Heat Wave - HomecomingHot Flash Heat Wave2016-07-01 | Our third album 'Sportswear' is out now! ingrv.es/sportswear-god-p

LYRICS My baby’s gone and left me on my own When she’s comin’ back I don’t know I love her so and I think about her all the time Spent a week goin’ out of my mind When’s my baby coming home? When’s my baby coming home?
Ooh, when’s my baby coming home? Ooh, when’s my baby coming home?
Well I’m so cold without her by my side I get lonely and it's hard for me to sleep at night I love her so and I think about her all the time One thought going back and forth through my mind

LYRICS Hesitation keeps your words on the tip of your tongue Too careful with what you say and you’re coming off dumb And there’s nothing left to be said on the telephone Makes me wonder how I stuck around so long
Anticipation keeps you on the edge of your seat But you’re just too distracted to look up the people you meet What was it I said that was so wrong? Now I realize it was a lie all along
On the other line A whole other life But these dependencies I just cannot deny
Who’s that on the phone? It was you on the line Sayin’ it was my fault But these things happen with time

All on my mind, she’s in my head I know she’s my gutter girl Forget what they say, I’m gonna stay Here with my gutter girl
Don’t you know You’re my gutter girl Don’t you know You’re my gutter girl
Roller coaster Yeah she took me up and down She’s makin’ me ill But I can’t turn her down ‘Cause we got no money But I think it’s funny how I don’t need nothing Except for my gutter girl

These days my life is just filled with bliss Had to quit school I wasn’t with it Only so much precious life to live So I spend my time jacuzzi-ing
