The Other Side of Summer

歌詞

The sun struggles up another beautiful day And I felt glad in my own suspicious way Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Despite the contradiction and confusion Felt tragic without reason There's malice and there's magic in every season From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf The other side of summer To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf The other side of summer The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palace The blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chalice The pale pathetic promises that everybody swallows A teenage girl is crying 'cause she don't look like a million dollars So help her if you can 'Cause she don't seem to have the attention span From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf The other side of summer To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf The other side of summer Was it a millionaire who said " " ? A poor little schoolboy who said " " ? The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shop The pop princess is downtown shooting up And if that goddess if fit for burning The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning Madman standing by the side of the road saying "Look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes" Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Now you can't afford to fake all the drugs your parents used to take Because of their mistakes you'd better be wide awake From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf The other side of summer To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf The other side of summer The mightiest rose, the absence of perfume The casual killers, the military curfew The cardboard city and the unwanted birthday The other side of summer The dancing was desperate, the music was worse They bury your dreams and dig up the worthless Goodnight, God bless and kiss "goodbye" to the earth The other side of summer The other side of summer The other side of summer The other side of summer The other side of summer The other side of summer The other side, the other side The other side of
