lyrics

she got white heat
burning up a hole in her bed
tearing up the brain in her head
where did it come from?

nobody knows
nobody knows
nobody knows

she says a prayer
while she drives down the road
Lord, won't you take this white heat
and roll it on home
put love instead
of this white heat in my head
white heat

she got white heat
thoughts rolling 'round in her head
anger everywhere she turns red
with this white heat
she got white heat

she got white heat
hotter than the sun overhead
tearing up every track she treads
where did it come from?

nobody knows
nobody knows
nobody knows

she asks the Lord while she drives down the road
help me remember times when my life flowed
and I felt fed and saw great things ahead
'stead of this white heat

she got white heat
thoughts rolling 'round in her head
anger everywhere she turns red
with this white heat
she got white heat

doesn't know how to turn it off
why can't there be love instead
of this white heat

she got white heat
hotter than the sun overhead
tearing up every track she treads
where did it come from?

nobody knows
nobody knows
nobody knows

white heat white heat
can't last forever
she'll have to sleep
sleep off this white heat
