The Other Side of Summer |
| The sun struggles up another beautiful day |
| And I felt glad in my own suspicious way |
| Despite the contradiction and confusion |
| Felt tragic without reason |
| There’s malice and there’s magic in every season |
| From the foaming breakers of the poisonous surf |
| The other side of Summer |
| To the burning forests in the hills of Astroturf |
| The other side of Summer |
| The automatic gates close up between the shanties and the palace |
| The blowtorch amusements, the voodoo chalice |
| The pale pathetic promises that everybody swallows |
| A teenage girl is crying 'cos she don’t look like a million dollars |
| So help her if you can |
| 'Cos she don’t seem to have the attention span |
| Was it a millionaire who said «imagine no possessions»? |
| A poor little schoolboy who said «we don’t need no lessons»? |
| The rabid rebel dogs ransack the shampoo shop |
| The pop princess is downtown shooting up |
| And if that goddess if fit for burning |
| The sun will struggle up the world will still keep turning |
| Madman standing by the side of the road saying |
| «Look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes, look at my eyes» |
| Now you can’t afford to fake all the drugs your parents used to take |
| Because of their mistakes you’d better be wide awake |
| The mightiest rose |
| The absence of perfume |
| The casual killers |
| The military curfew |
| The cardboard city |
| An unwanted birthday |
| The other side of summer |
| The dancing was desperate, the music was worse |
| They bury your dreams and dig up the worthless |
| Goodnight |
| God bless |
| And kiss «goodbye"to the earth |
| The other side of summer |
