Lyrics

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night You know that I caught it Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price You know that I bought it Killin' me slow, out the window I'm always waitin' for you to be waitin' below Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes What doesn't kill me makes me want you more And it's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feelin' I got And it's ooh-ooh, oh-oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules in breakable heaven But ooh-ooh, oh-oh It's a cruel summer with you Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine I'm not dyin' We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times We're not tryin' So cut the headlights, summer's a knife I'm always waitin' for you just to cut to the bone Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know And it's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feelin' I got And it's ooh-ooh, oh-oh It's a cruel summer It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules in breakable heaven But ooh-ooh, oh-oh It's a cruel summer with you I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cry like a baby comin' home from the bar Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer, just to seal my fate And I scream, for whatever it's worth "I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?" He looks up, grinnin' like a devil It's new, the shape of your body It's blue, the feelin' I got And it's ooh-ooh, oh-oh (It's a cruel summer) ooh-ooh, oh-oh It's cool, that's what I tell 'em No rules in breakable heaven (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh) no-oh, oh yuh (It's a cruel summer) It's a cruel summer (with you) I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cry like a baby comin' home from the bar Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer, just to seal my fate And I scream, for whatever it's worth "I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
