The Other Side of Summer

[00:04.07] The sun struggles up another beautiful day
[00:07.83] And I felt glad in my own suspicious way
[00:15.90] Despite the contradiction and confusion
[00:18.47] Felt tragic without reason
[00:20.25] There's malice and there's magic in every season
[00:23.82] From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf
[00:27.00] The other side of Summer
[00:31.25] To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf
[00:34.91] The other side of Summer
[00:40.27] The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palace
[00:46.91] The blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chalice
[00:50.76] The pale pathetic promises that everybody swallows
[00:54.48] A teenage girl is crying 'cos she don't look like a million dollars
[00:59.29] So help her if you can
[01:01.17] 'Cause she don't seem to have the attention span
[01:04.71] From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf
[01:08.13] The other side of Summer
[01:12.32] To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf
[01:16.01] The other side of Summer
[01:22.58] Was it a millionaire who said "imagine no possessions"?
[01:25.90] A poor little schoolboy who said "we don't need no lessons"?
[01:29.75] The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shop
[01:33.95] The pop princess is downtown shooting up
[01:36.75] And if that goddess if fit for burning
[01:40.45] The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning
[01:47.58] Madman standing by the side of the road saying
[01:51.82] "Look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes"
[01:55.52] Now you can't afford to fake all the drugs your parents used to take
[02:02.23] Because of their mistakes you'd better be wide awake
[02:06.98] From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf
[02:10.24] The other side of Summer
[02:14.50] To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf
[02:18.52] The other side of Summer
[02:22.43] The mightiest rose
[02:23.68] The absence of perfume
[02:25.57] The casual killers
[02:27.46] The military curfew
[02:29.59] The cardboard city
[02:31.03] An unwanted birthday
[02:33.07] The other side of summer
[02:37.36] The dancing was desperate, the music was worse
[02:40.35] They bury your dreams and dig up the worthless
[02:44.53] Goodnight
[02:45.15] God bless
[02:46.04] And kiss "goodbye" to the earth
[02:48.00] The other side of summer
[03:39.86]
