The Rhythm of the Heat (Peter Gabriel cover) Lyrics

Looking out the window
I see the red dust clear
High up on the red rock
Stands the shadow with the spear

The land here is strong
Strong beneath my feet
It feeds on the blood
It feeds on the heat

The rhythm is below me
The rhythm of the heat
The rhythm is around me
The rhythm has control
And the rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

The rhythm has my soul

Drawn across the plainland
To the place that is higher
Drawn into the circle
That dances round the fire
We spit into out hands
And breathe across the palms
Raising them up high
Held open to the sun
Open to the sun

Self-conscious, uncertain
I'm showered by the dust
The spirit enters into me
And I submit to trust

Smash the radio
(No outside voices here)
Smash the watch
(Cannot tear the day to shreds)
Smash the camera
(Cannot steal away spirits)
The rhythm is around me
(The rhythm has control)
The rhythm is inside me
The rhythm has my soul

The rhythm has my soul

The rhythm has my soul
My soul
