Jet planes are flying overhead
It's so hot I wish I was dead
I've got the El Centro Blues
Around here the way people drive
It's amazing that I'm still alive
I've got the El Centro Blues
Air so hot it hurts to talk
Ground so hot it hurts to walk
Down in Stark Field they find some shade
Take a rest, spend the night, and they've got it made
They've got the El Centro Blues
El Centro Azul
Cockroaches in the silverware drawer
Out of water gotta get some more
Cockroaches climbing up my wall
Keep a roach in my pocket to break my fall
I've got the El Centro Blues
Palm trees swaying in the breeze
It's the first of October still a hundred degrees
pastel sunsets pink and true
softens my El Centro Blues
