summershakes from winnowing by forest spirit, sun on your back

two days above the water and your friends got high
the light was blinding and uptight like a match
the racket was a smash and they’re blinkin out the names of g-d
they shook and kissed him in a book, as they burned
their heads turned round

what’s up?
the light is closing up but there’s not enough to
keep it up, keep it in the air and don’t
come knocking ’cause you won’t be shocked at all,
your summer shakes
that’s when you're sure to hit your brakes

eighty miles an hour in the hot dead day
we stopped and threw ourselves like rocks to the lake
the earth began to quake and it’s buzzin all around, oh g-d
i said, i think i’m nearly dead on the shore
the sun’s so warm

but wait,
you can’t prevaricate on the second date so
keep it down, keep it to yourself and don’t
come knocking ’cause you won’t be shocked at all,
your summer shakes
that’s when you should've hit your brakes

what’s up?
the light is closing up but you’re not enough to
keep it up, keep it in the air and don’t
come knocking ’cause you won’t be shocked at all,
your summer shakes
that’s when you should’ve hit your brakes
