Title: Record heat waves
[Verse]
In my narrow bed
It resembles a lion
I take a picture of it in the morning light
Too hot to sleep
But no harm in staying up now
Wind knocked out in full joy
The asphalt's surface is on fire
I'm now maybe in the biggest peril
Without weapons in the jaws of a lion
[Verse]
It was in the news
That there's been sightings
A big feline's tracks on the edge of the Central Park
But no one knows
Where it vanished from the terrain
The tracks end at the Ruoholahti Metro
[Chorus]
I've made all the right mistakes
Tamed a lion into a pet
Have to bear these emotions
Though we're without shelter both of us
And when the record heat waves start
Even within me permafrost melts
This stays ringing at our heels
The rhythm of my heart, it goes like this:
[Verse]
I'm trying not to say
That too heavy sentence
With which one can destroy everything
But neither can I erase
This singular signal
That's amplified with you
The midsummer rose is in bloom
You're now maybe in the greatest peril
As the target of my wishes
[Chorus]
I've made all the right mistakes
Tamed a lion into a pet
Have to bear these emotions
Though we're without shelter both of us
And when the record heat waves start
Even within me permafrost melts
This stays ringing at our heels
The rhythm of my heart, it goes like this:
[Bridge]
It's been a long hot summer
Nothing grows here anymore
I'm thinking "who's the animal here?" as I'm panting after you
Dark clouds in the horizon already
No shields will help here anymore
When this electric charge intensifies
[Chorus]
All the right mistakes
And this summer still won't ease up
Have to bear these emotions
Even if they were omens of the end times
And when the record heat waves start
Even within me permafrost melts
This stays ringing at our heels
The rhythm of my heart, it goes like this
