Taylor - Heat


Escaping the Heat
Escaping the heat, yeah right!
By the time one goes from HOT to just warm you are nearly naked.
It’s an ever going contest between the heat and the cooling agent known as the fan. All the fans in the world can’t beat this heat!
 Jump in the pool… feels so good until you realize the water you imagined so cold and cooling as actually leuk warm and sticky. 
The conclusion to this hot topic - there is NO escape!
The New Orleans heat is just like the New Orleans people who take it all in; it doesn’t back down at the sign of a challenge.
This being said, IF YOU CANT BEAT IT, LEARN TO ROLL WITH IT … Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler!
