I have these secrets I keep to myself

But they escape and they run wild

Revenge is sweet or so I've been told

It just leaves a bitter taste behind

Yeah the roof is leaking, I don't give a damn

Yeah it's raining on my head

You took this sacred heart and sewed it to your sleeve

Then you left me for dead

See those yellow flowers nodding like fools

I want to destroy them, they remind me of you

I loved you madly

You went away

What a dirty trick to play

I may have loved you badly

That's what you say

Oh dirty summer's day

I found your stilettoes in my room yesterday

They were glowing in the dark

I was smiling as I threw them from the 42nd floor

Yeah this time you've gone too far

See those pretty stars in the heavens so blue

I want to destroy them, they remind me of you

I loved you madly

You went away

What a dirty trick to play

I may have loved you badly

That's what you say

Oh dirty summer's day

I was dreaming last night of stealing a gun

And shooting holes right through the sky

I was screaming and the were cowboys and showgirls on fire

And I thought it was my time to die

See those yellow flowers nodding like fools

I want to destroy them, they remind me of you

I loved you madly

You went away

What a dirty trick to play

I may have loved you badly

That's what you say

Oh dirty summer's day

I loved you madly

You went away

What a dirty trick to play

I may have loved you badly

That's what you say

Oh dirty summer's day
