FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE lyrics : "The Summer Place"

She's been afraid of the Cuisinart
Since 1977
Now when she opens up the house

Well, she won't set foot in the kitchen

Her brother's dating an architect

They're coming up for the weekend
He never gave her the proper respect
But she still meets the ferry to greet them


Oh at the summer place
We've got the space if you've got the time

And the summer place
Is so far away
It's another state of mind,

Mind, mind, mind

She ran away back in '78

Just down the beach to the neighbors
They brought her back after sunset
Her dad said "Don't do me any favors"


Her mom would sit on the patio
She said she needed the sea air

She'd drink a fifth of Seagrams
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair


Oh at the summer place
We've got the space if you've got the time
And the summer place

Is so far away
It's another state of mind
Mind, mind, mind


At fifteen
Shoplifting

Was the only game she liked to play
At forty
She's so bored she

Thinks about it then decides to pay
And still she can't help feeling
Those good old days don't seem so far away

Was it just yesterday

She took a handful of mushrooms

That she got from a surfer
She spent the night in the hospital room
So the doctors could observe her


Oh at the summer place
We've got the space you should drop on by

At the summer place
The injuries fade
But the memories last a lifetime

Lifetime, lifetime, lifetime
