Blood Orange Sun Lyrics

When Summer ends in death,
On a dirtbike chase in Beth(?)
All us kids with tennis balls
And a wiffle bat

And dad's Playboy centerfolds
And at night, so we'd go
Sit in fields with fireflies
And smoke the cigarettes we stole

Oh yeah
And the sunlight crawls around you
Oh yeah
And draws a fable that we fell through
Pomegranate rain on my tongue
Under the blood orange sun
Under the blood orange sun

Ma got me out of bed
Saw the highway splashed in red
The school announcement said your name
I ran away instead

And wept on that hill we used to go
Watch the Susquehanna flow
Later Tommy gave me details
That I didn't want to know

Oh yeah
And the sunlight crawls around you
Oh yeah
And draws a fable that we fell through
Some days are a dream on my tongue
Under the blood orange sun
Under the blood orange sun

Sun...
Blood orange sun...
Sun...

Got off on a change When the summer ends in tears
The smell of the apples in the air
We moved out to Southern Cal, my summer belle
I left you there.


Well you ?? while the Siouxies torched the car
And us young punks bum rushed the bar
We laughed till we fell around
A row of palm trees blazed against the dark

Oh yeah
And the sunlight crawls around you
Oh yeah
And draws a fable that we fell through
Pomegranate rain on my tongue
Under the blood orange sun
Under the blood orange sun

Blood orange sun...
Blood orange sun...
