We ain't never going back again You're in my Chevy and I'm doing eighty eight We're playing music eating Madeleines I look at you Winter seems so far away Around the corner there is no mans-land A sparkling sea beneath the trembling sunny sky You turn the volume, and you take my hand And I... I hear the summer go... There's a shadow only I can find On the bottom of the old sweet melon-vine Stead of nine-to-five, its five-to-nine Play me songs from summer eighty-five You got swag and I got sway This is coming close to Lou Reeds perfect day I needed meaning and I saw your face And hey... I hear the summer go And hey... I hear the summer go All the stars and constellations Bring us endless radiation We look up and it's contagious and it's fine There's a shadow only I can find On the bottom of the old sweet melon-vine Stead of nine-to-five, its five-to-nine Play me songs from summer eighty-five There is nothing that can change my mind I am happy with the same old story line You're the perfect waste of time And I... I hear the summer go And I... I hear the summer go
