Hot River Lyrics

------------- 

(Bley) 





Do you long to cavort? 

Here's a new water sport 

That you ought to try 

It's a
Fahrenheit dream 

Hot and covered with steam 

You won't be bored


Do you want to get wet? 

Are you starting to sweat? 

Slip
over the side 

Now we're caught in a swell 

Here's where Heaven and
Hell 

Start to collide 



It's slippery and slimy 

Reach
over here and tie me 

I'm so warm I can hardly move 

Mother never
told me 

I'd need someone to hold me 

But where I'm from the rivers
are all cold 



It's a fisherman's dream 

Dinner's already
steamed 

And ready to eat 

When you feel your resolve 

Is
about to dissolve 

Then stop for a treat 

In a river of steam 

Nothing seems too obscene 

So let down your hair 

While you
drift through a trough 

Slip your bathing suit off 

And really get
clean 



You can do your laundry 

While your thoughts are
wandering 

And you watch the passing swimmer's poach 

You don't
need no Sterno 

In Dante's Inferno 

It's thermohydriatically
controlled 



You can't stay in too long 

'Cause the heat is
too strong 

You're starting to slide 

Grab ahold of the rope 

Throw your soap in the boat 

Climb over the side 

We can come
back for more 

When we start to get bored 

There's nothing as wild


As a Hot River swim 

On the volcanic rim
