Hot House Songtext
von Bud Powell

I′d walk miles and miles on this nowhere road
Just to see you again but I think you know
Don't you wish we could just keep the night away
Shine forever and love ′till we're old and grey

I once had a reason to live and sing
Watched her vanish away with the winter's wind
I was looking for something that time wouldn′t break
Found that everything dies with each breath we take

Can someone wake me up inside
Light the fire in my eyes
Can someone make it all alright
Cause I′m waiting tonight


I guess hope's a ladder up to the sky
From which I fell off bad and I don′t know why
But the world doesn't hate you my old man said
It just doesn′t care if you're alive or dead

Now the place that I once loved and felt like home
Left me nothing but pain and a heart of stone
When the smoke clears, my love, don′t you fear for me
In my grave under the ground I'll be good and free

Can someone wake me up inside
Light the fire in my eyes
Can someone make it all alright
Cause I'm waiting tonight

Can someone wake me up inside
Light the fire in my eyes
Can someone make it all alright
Cause I′m leaving tonight
