Summer Turns to High R.E.M.

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Summer turns to high

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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
