This dumb jam didn't mean a thing
Ecstacy, rave is king
Fake diamonds shining on her finger
And I'm bad for you, for you
You stole my soul, or I gave it to you
I wish I was a spray can...
Hey! Where did everybody go?
Everyone I know has blown the coast and
Shiver in the wind it shows
All I have are summer clothes
And oh, it brings me down
When it's winter time in a summer town and
It's winter time in a summer town and
All we are are friends we keep or lose in time
Fade away, the precious ones we keep in mind
I wonder now if I'm the one that you'd leave behind
(Chorus)
'Cause after Halloween, everything starts fading
I'm losing everyone, I go down like the sun
You know what I mean
I'm just someone in a summer town
Standing by the old beach house
Where we stood outside and sang out loud and
I will shiver like a ghost
I remember the time that we drew a crowd and
I told you everything I knew in the manic rushing line
I wonder now if I'm the kind that you left behind
'Cause after Halloween, everything starts fading
I'm losing everyone, I go down like the sun
You know what I mean
My whole life is a summer town
You get into the people you met
And the moment that comes that you can't forget, and
Some flies in trajectory
Did you give me more than you took from me?
And, I'm as empty now as a vacant sign
Like tonight
After Halloween, can we stay together?
I'm losing everyone and I come undone
Nothing lasts forever, the last summer is done
Can we find another one, find another one?
No, no, no, no, yeah!
Hey, where'd everybody go?
Everyone I know has blown the coast
And all we are is holding on
But we're letting it go, we're letting it go, we're letting it
All we are are friends we keep
When we lose them all, it's bittersweet
And I realize we'll always be in a summer town.
(Interlude)
I wish I was a spray can
I'd write my name on the world and
I wish I was a megaphone with my speaker blown
To get myself known in a summer town
Smell sun block on her hot skin
in a bungalow before the day begins
This is some dumb jam it doesn't mean a thing
Ecstacy, rave is king
Fake diamonds shining on her finger
I'm as bad for you as anyone you ever knew
Still you stole my soul, or I gave it to you
Yeah you stole my soul, or I gave it to you,
get high and do the five five deal,
Rock a fanny pack now from the front,
she's generous with the bumps of the fake cocaine,
it was funny once then, now it's funny again
and I was never able to reach her, no, no
Next leap of the creature, maybe then, maybe then
Summer dies and then you go away,
Wanna be hustler school M.I.A.
Make a paper plane and then you fly away,
Make a paper plane and then you fly away, fly away
We can fly away
Where's my super secret stupid fucking pocket,
where I left my bungalow keys?
How am I always waking up in places like these?
Who's been singing all my symphonies?
Rap bastards palliate my infamies,
You'll be begging, burning, please
Back to the champ in the little sun dress
She was reading Nabokov, Miller, and Tess
Undressed so fine just as you are,
a stone cold rap superstar
And I was never able to reach her.
Alright...
