The Heat
People like the Lord are watching you
The men who follow Jesus cared
You're constantly on an audition
And everyone you ever knew
Will eventually be there
It's hard to live under scrutiny
Or dissected under judging eyes
You can see why the people cry mutiny
While enjoying the safety
Of being paralyzed
How am I supposed to keep moving
With all this heat following me?
I been chained to radiators
By molls who said they were mine
They all said they'd meet me later
And we'd run away to the land
Of sweet grapevines
Ya gotta be wary they tell you
'cause they're workin' both sides of the mirror
Under the hot spot of seduction,
Your contrived confession
Comes crystal-clear
How am I supposed to keep movingHn
With all this heat following me?
