When summer ends in death, On a dirtbike chasin' Beth All us kids with tennis balls And a whiffle bat And dad's Playboy centerfolds And at nine or so we'd go Sit in fields with fireflies And smoke the cigarettes we stole
Oh yeah, And the sunlight crawls around you Oh yeah, And draws a fable that we fell through Pomegranate rain on my tongue Under the Blood Orange Sun... Under the Blood Orange Sun...
Ma got me out of bed Saw the highway splashed in red The school announcements said your name I ran away instead And wept on that hill we used to go, Watch the Susquehanna flow Later Tommy gave me details That I didn't want to know
Oh yeah, And the sunlight crawls around you Oh yeah, And draws a fable that we fell through Some days are a dream on my tongue Under the Blood Orange Sun... Under the Blood Orange Sun...
Sun... Blood Orange Sun... Sun...
Got off at a change When the summer ends in tears The smell of the apples in the air We moved out to Southern Cal, my summer belle I left you there.
Where you fade, while the Sui's torched a car And us young punks bum rushed the bar We laughed 'til we fell around A row of palm trees blazed against the dark
Oh yeah, And the sunlight crawls around you Oh yeah, And draws a fable that we fell through Pomegranate rain on my tongue Under the Blood Orange Sun... Under the Blood Orange Sun...
