Summer’s here, and I’m gonna crack, crack, crack
Summer’s here, and I’m gonna crack

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, we laugh.

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.

‘Cause, kids: When I first saw your mom
Well, I was right, and she was wrong
About just the kind of man she was bringing back.

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.

Spring is gone, and you’re gonna gasp, gasp, gasp
Spring is gone, and you’re gonna gasp
Gasp

And, friends: When I first saw the groom
Rise from the darkness of a 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!’

Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down
Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
Winter’s here, and the snow’s on the ground
Winter’s here, and I’m nearly whited-out,
Snowblind, it’s no business of mine, life don’t want me around.
