Lyrics
Summer Salt
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's back up and act like we're sober
Newborn clean
Head over heals for a cold blooded creature
Limbic somersaults
For a toxic thing you sure smell pretty
Summer, salt and wine
For an ugly boy you sure look pretty
A cowboy frankenstein
I dreamt you were playing along
I dreamt you were playing along
I dreamt you were playing along
In your dreams
When it's touch and go you blow your wad
Like no one ever fails
For a quiet boy you sure talk dirty
A velvet bed of nails
I dreamt you were playing along
I dreamt you were playing along
I dreamt you were playing along
In your dreams
While I did nfity somersaults
You were thinking after all
After it all
I don't have to talk
I don't have to talk
But when I do and this is true
There's nothing I won't say
