Summer's come
the sun is gone
Summer's come
the sun is gone
In the older day only fair to say.
With a broken kart they were on their way.
You're got to try stay away.
I absorb the poison fed to me.
fed to me.
To get it on your own you get it all.
And all of what you own you get alone.
In the older day only fair to say.
With a broken kart they were on their way.
You're got to.
Summer's come
the sun is gone.
Summer's come
the sun is gone.
To get it on your own you get it all.
And all of what you own you get alone.
Getting off you, getting a view, I've grown tired.
Heading in to, educated shoes, I wont buy.
Hey.
To get it on your own you get it all.
And all of what you own you get alone.
Getting off you, getting a view, I've grown tired.
