Lyrics

[Verse 1] We crashed through crazed glass In the white-hot burst of the firey blast We flared through choked air In the deafening blare, in the scattering ash [Chorus 1] "Summer's here, and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack Summer's here, and I'm gonna crack" [Verse 2] We sort through shocked quartz in a jewelry store Watch your sister and dad Consort with kept courtesans While the whole world is in ruins and black [Chorus 2] "Summer's here, and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack! Summer's here, and I'm gonna crack Summer's here and I'm near a heart attack Or flash of real feeling, teeth gnashing And blasting and reeling through black" [Bridge 1] 'Cause kids When I first saw your mom Well, I was right and she was wrong 'Bout just the type of man she was bringing back And when I first met her dad Well, I felt good and he felt bad But, kids, you'll find that over time, you're just trapped [Chorus 3] Spring is gone, and you're gonna gasp, gasp, gasp Spring is gone, and you're gonna gasp Gasp [Bridge 2] And friends: When I first saw the groom Rise from the darkness of the tomb I was unnerved, though, overall, I was wowed When I first saw the bride The look inside her eyes just cried "If someone has some cause to stop, say it now!" [Chorus 4] But fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down [Outro] And then winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown Winter's here, it's too cold to drown, drown, drown Winter's here, snow's on the ground Winter's here, and I'm nearly whited-out, snowblind Like it's no business of mine If life doesn't want me around
