Until September

Yellow finger cigarette

raccoon socket black regret

if summer was a pill

I'd be doped up still

January marches on

still you linger in my song

thought I'd moved along

but every time I see you

I remember

[chorus:]

Saturdays it's raining in your room

I kiss you while you sleep

until September

watching out for you leads to my doom

you say it's for the best

but I suppose

we'll never know

I suppose

we'll never know

try and try to force myself

to think about somebody else

the dead come out at night

a colossal waste of time

I pour myself a cup of tea

it's peppered bees and scalding heat

try to see your face

but every time I think I can't remember

[chorus]

terminal velocities on hold

cuz what you say to me

I contemplate but shrug

and walk away

tell me what you want is

just to nail me to the cross

so I can finally breathe a sigh

while I remember

[chorus]
