Mercury is rising still
Turn the fan on high
I won't step on my own shadow
No one wants to cry
Someone put a pox on me
I'll spit in their eyes
Summer turns to high
With my bed-sheet cape and sandals
Circle citronella candles
Summer's here, the light is raising hopes and dragonflies.
If those hopes are overshadowed by cotton candy, caramel apple
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer high
After wine and nectarines
The fireflies and time
Move like syrup through the evening with the sweet resign
I won't pine for what could have been-
I'm preoccupied
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer high
