about
A summer anthem for people who hate summer!
lyrics
All aboard the summer express
House arrest in lonely excess
Celebrating who knows what
6am, and the heat is rising
Streets are sizzling like a hotplate
A hellish taste of what's to come
Rusted pavements, plants go thirsty
Broken sprinklers pissing water skywards
Not much water left to waste
Nothing happens, nothing changes
Life hit pause, an endless ad break
Buzzing flies the only sign of life
Another day of clear blue skies and harmless fun
We barely notice how uneventful life has become
Grab a frisbee, grab a surfboard
Hop across the molten white sands
Meet the jellyfish and sharks
The ultraviolet barbecues us
Turquoise riptides will devour us
Clearly nature is not our friend
Another day of clear blue skies and harmless fun
We barely notice how uneventful life has become
One fly's dead but endless numbers take its place
Called by instinct to explore upon your face
Shelter for hours in a neon palace
Shopping malls as big as galaxies
Air con attracts us in like flies
Shops upon shops, sensory overload
So overcrowded, people everywhere
All of us consuming from the grid
Another year of telling ourselves life is grand
Another year of spinning our wheels in the sand
Another year of clear blue skies and harmless fun
We barely notice how uneventful life has become
