We crashed through crazed glass
In the white-hot burst of the fiery blast
We flared through choked air
In the deafening blare, in the scattering ash
"Summer's here and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack.
Summer's here and I'm gonna crack."
We sort through shocked quartz
In a jewelry store whilst your sister and dad
Consort with kept courtesans
While the whole world is in ruins and laugh
"Summer's here and I'm gonna cry, cry, cry
Summer's here and I'm gonna cry
Summer's here and I'm near a heart attack or flash of real feeling
Teeth gnashing, and blasting and reeling through black."
'Cause, kids: When I first saw your mom, well, I was right and she was wrong
'Bout just the kind of man she was bringing back
And when I first met her dad, well, I felt good and he felt bad
But, kids, you'll find that, over time, you're just trapped
Spring is gone and you're gonna gasp, gasp, gasp
Spring is gone and you're gonna gasp
Gasp
And, friends
When I first saw the groom rise from the darkness of the tomb
I was unnerved (though overall I was wowed)
When I first saw the bride, the look inside her eyes just cried
"If someone has some cause to stop, say it now!"
Fall is here and the leaves all come down, down, down
Fall is here and the leaves all come down, down, down
Winter's here and it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter's here, the snow is on the ground
Winter's here and I'm nearly whited-out, snowblind
It's no business of mine
If life don't want me around
