Blood Orange Sun

When summer ends in death on a dirt bike chasin Beth

All us kids with tennis balls and a whiffle bat

And dads Playboy centerfolds and at nine or so we'Ђ™d go

Sit in fields with fireflies and smoke the cigarettes we stole

Oh yeah, and the sunlight crawls around you

And draws a fable that we fell through

Pomegranate rain on my tongue

Under the Blood Orange Sun x 2

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'Ђ™t want to know

Oh yeah, and the sunlight crawls around you

And draws a fable that we fell through

Some days are a dream on my tongue

Under the Blood Orange Sun x 2

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 pal I left you there,

Where you fade, while the Sui'Ђ™s torched a car

And us young punks bum rushed the bar

We laughed till we fell around

A row of palm trees blazed against the dark
