Lyrics

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.

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!

summer turns to high

summer turns to high

summer turns to high,

summer high.
