Summer Days
Two dollars will get you over the bridge and in the comfort of good friends
And all our twist and turns and how shady we can be weighs heavy on my head
Looking out into the night, bright lights burst in the sky
Lying in the street with no one to keep it’s the Fourth of July
The ants on my jeans all get lost in the seams and I got sunburn on the left side of my face
Oh, these summer days
So let’s drink tonight lets be merry we’ll hold our glasses up real high
Sing out your lungs all you dissonant birds
Sing your songs tonight
Because tomorrow will be just the same
Another poor excuse for a day
And everyone in this town oh hell they all get around and no one knows anybody’s names
So you wear black I wear white you wear red and then tonight we’ll go out and play
Oh these summer days
I got both of my fists clenched
Someone keeps messing with my friends
My mouth starts grinning but head is spinning I can barely stand
Oh no…
Her hot wet mouth kisses my neck and immediately I fall in love
And she’ll love me at night and then just put me away
Until this dream comes undone
We’re just dirty laundry blowing in the wind
With our flesh neatly stuffed in
Hanging from the line our skin’s dangling from our bones
We’re funny skeletons
So I belt some more till I fall to the floor I’m laughing I am insane
Oh these summer days
My fingertips just became cigarettes and I ran out of cool shit to say
Oh these summer days
