Summer in Cloud City

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Will Sheff] Blazed-out hours rolling, rolling by Blissed-out years in the blink of an eye Sing a song for the summer Sing a song Hazed-out hearts, days and years apart A sobbing at the site where you last felt that absent part Tell me what you remember Okay, I'll start [Chorus 1: Will Sheff] I remember being green It was easy for me And I remember that green feeling leaving High up for that city in the sky Do you remember being blue? Was it natural for you? 'Cause nobody gets out of grieving High up for that city in the sky [Verse 2: Will Sheff] Was it moving back then? Was it moving along? Like a '74 song? Lots of drinking it off Lots of waking in cars Lots of living in bars And the truth, for me, it's never changed Although it's been I don't know how many years Girl, come and hold me, just hold me in your mind I'm down in the cellar, and I'm singing my lines And I'm dreaming that dream Am I still in the scene? I'll sing this song for our summer [Saxophone Solo] [Bridge: Beth Wawerna] She wrote a message to an old friend It read, "I'll bet we never see that city again" The skyline afloat In icy hydrogen We're just gonna both Have to remember it [Chorus 2: Will Sheff] Do you remember being pink And people wanting to know what you think? There was a bar where you could always drink for free High up in that city in the sky Do you remember being right? You were automatically dynamite You would press or lean in so tight and you'd whisper to me We're high up, high up in that city in the sky [Verse 3: Will Sheff] Drunk again and disco blazing, with a song shaken loose from my heart I'll sing a song for the summer, for the summer Sing a song, a song [Chorus 3: Will Sheff] I feel like a ghost at the wrong feast Searching for the guests, or the door, or the bathroom, or the bar, or the coat check at least (High up in that city in the sky) And sometimes I can feel the seed of some eventual stop Nothing is made to last Nothing to learn, nothing that can be taken from the top (High up in that city in the sky) The city, city in the sky, make my bed upon the tide See the ocean blowing and see the wave, see the whitecaps bashing, crashing, hey (High up in that city in the sky) I don't want this to be One day I'll get killed 'Til then I wanna hold on to our love (High up in that city in the sky)
