Mercury is rising still
Turn the fan on high
I won't step on my own shadow

No one wants to cry

Someone put a pox on me

I'll spit in their eye

Summer turns to high


With my bedsheet cape and sandals
Circle citronella candles

Summer's here, the light is raising
Hopes and dragonflies


If those hopes are overshadowed,
Cotton candy, caramel apple


(chorus)
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high,
Summer high


After wine and nectarines
The fireflies in time
Move like syrup through the evening

With a sweet resign

I won't pine for what could have been-

I'm preoccupied!

(repeat chorus)
