Lyrics
When summer ends in death
On a dirtbike chase in Beth
All us kids with tennis balls
And a wiffle pad
And dads, Playboy centerfolds
And at nine or so we'd go
Sit in fields with fireflies
And smoke the cigarettes we stole
Oh yeah, and the sunlight crawls around you
Oh yeah, and draws a fable that we fell through
Pomegranate rain on my tongue
Under the blood orange sun
Ma got me out of bed
Saw the highway splashed in red
The school announcement 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't wanna know
Oh yeah, and the sunlight crawls around you
Oh yeah, and draws a fable that we fell through
Sundays are a dream on my tongue
Under the blood orange sun
Got offered 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 faked while the Sueys torched the car
And us young punks bum rushed the bar
We laughed 'til we fell around
A row of palm trees blazed against the dark
Oh yeah, and the sunlight crawls around you
Oh yeah, and draws a fable that we fell through
Pomegranate rain on my tongue
Under the blood orange sun
Under the blood orange sun
