lyrics

Girls look so pretty till you get up close,
and then they don’t.
At least, not most.
Oh, where’d you go,
summer love?

Boys are so smart till you talk to them.
You hear their filament fists
just rattling --
the bulb’s gone dim,
summer love.

Some are hungry, some are thirsty,
some are so about to burst.
The sun above says some of us should go.
Some are lovely. Some are ugly.
Some are really something, buddy.
All are some I’d like to know.
And some are, some are, some are, some are,
some are, some are summer love.

I spent my whole quarter at the nickel arcade,
thinking, that way, we both could play.
Oh, where’d you go,
summer love?

Licking your fingers, watching fireworks
with cherry pie eyes and a grass-stained skirt.
Oh, where’d you go,
summer love?

Soggy boys swim up and they say, “Hey.”
And you say, “Hey.”
And I just play.
Oh, where’d you go,
summer love?

Some are hungry, some are thirsty,
some are so about to burst.
The sun above says some of us should go.
Some are lovely. Some are ugly.
Some are really something, buddy.
All are some I’d like to know.
And some are, some are, some are, some are,
some are, some are summer love.

And some are
nothing we know.
We know nothing,
nothing we know.
We know nothing,
nothing we know.
We know nothing,
nothing we know.
We know nothing,
nothing we know.
