Peter Gabriel — The Rhythm of the Heat

[Verse 1] Looking out the window I see the red dust clear High up on the red rock Stands the shadow with the spear [Verse 2] The land here is strong Strong beneath my feet It feeds on the blood It feeds on the heat [Chorus] The rhythm is below me The rhythm of the heat The rhythm is around me The rhythm has control The rhythm is inside me The rhythm has my soul [Refrain] The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat [Bridge] Drawn across the plain land to the place that is higher The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat Drawn into the circle that dances 'round the fire The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat We spit into our hands and breathe across the palms The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat Raising them up high, held open to the sun The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat Drawn across the plain land to the place that is higher The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat Drawn into the circle that dances 'round the fire The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat We spit into our hands and breathe across the palms The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat Raising them up high, held open to the sun The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat [Refrain] The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat The rhythm of the heat, the rhythm of the heat [Verse 3] Self-conscious, uncertain I'm showered with the dust The spirit enters into me And I submit to trust [Chorus 2] Smash the radio No outside voices here Smash the watch Cannot tear the day to shreds Smash the camera Cannot steal away the spirits The rhythm is around me The rhythm has control The rhythm is inside me The rhythm has my soul
