lyrics

When The Summer Comes Around

I spent years swapping spit with St. Lucifer singing the words to his blues
He says nobody love me or at least nobody says
In exultant rays of gratitude my once was lost was found
But I guess you had to be there when the summer comes around

I spent Lent spinning tales with St. Pol Pot telling the truth to his lies
He says nobody loves me or at least nobody tries
Saw that his halo wasn’t glowing and it wasn’t even round
But I guess you had to be there when the summer comes around

It’s all for kicks, it’s all for kicks

I spent Christmas in the sun with St. J Stalin juggling his pigs at his fez
He says nobody loves me or at least nobody says
And when the fun was drained from politics they red-painted the town
But I guess you had to be there when the summer comes around

Well I guess you had to be there when the summer comes around
