Verse

Chorus

Intro

- x2

[#1]

Set out all your five cent drinks and cool the

 carafe for the apple or the lemonade

Stay up on the right hand curb in case a cop become a siren

Run a light and off you girl

I know that summer's slowing down but lift your chin up off the ground

I'm sorry I had to sleep so late

My God has five o'clock already come and gone?

... come and gone

It must have been a storm my dear that tore through August

Left the street a mess and wet with rain

Step out from off my shoulders girl it's you that I get optimistic over anyway

I know that summer's slowing down but lift your chin up off the ground

And I'm sorry I had to sleep so late

My God has five o'clock already come and gone?

... come and gone

Chorus

Rain on reddened streets the killing fields and hanging trees

I'm almost out of air

Flood Rome let it fall the sea's too deep for wrecking balls

I'm almost out of air

Can I start again?

[#2]

God knows I got no guarantee

I'll wake up for the light in August or the memory

It's just a matter of indifference don't let the thought of it control you now

Don't you now

I know that summer's slowing down but lift your chin up off the ground

I'm sorry I had to sleep so late

My God has five o'clock already come and gone?

... come and gone

Chorus

Rain on reddened streets the killing fields and hanging trees

I'm almost out of air

Flood Rome let it fall the sea's too deep for wrecking balls

I'm almost out of air

Can I start again?
