Robin Catchy and super fun with a dash of nostalgia in the lyrics.

Philip Graham Any band with a name like this must be great. And they are great. This song is too jittery for words.

lyrics

Sun bleached white, like a shooting star,
We cut a fresh clean line in your brother’s car
Going on and on…
Heat beat down in a summer snow
And there’s nothing in our hearts that our mothers know
Going on and on…
And it’s fine
I’m never coming down this time

The bodies won’t move so we’re sneaking aside
And the stomping in our gut’s the only keeping of time
And we go on and on…
I’m counting on my digits all the devilish nerves
Til I hear the crack in mine and feel the curl of yours
And we go on and on…
And it’s time
Cuz heaven’s on the other side

We cut a left, right, left, right, left, right, standing still
Flirt a fresh cool taste in the chase of a summer’s kill
The sun is high and the sky’s caving in tonight, but I don’t mind
Got a head start racing all the ghost kids down the hill

Get quick, kid - go as fast as you can
They’re only pulling punches for your summer skin
So go on and on…
We recognize the body in the failure of words
Well, I never liked mine, so can I use yours?
And go on and on…
And it’s time
Cuz heaven’s on the other side

We cut a left, right, left, right, left, right, standing still
Flirt a fresh cool taste in the chase of a summer’s kill
The sun is high and the sky’s caving in tonight, but I don’t mind
Got a head start racing all the ghost kids down the hill

Well I cut my lip on the summer’s teeth
And everything she’s buzzing’s like she’s singing to me
It goes on and on…
I wave my rights to a delicate touch
I’m never coming down til they drag me up
I’ll go on and on…
And it’s time, cuz heaven’s on the other side
Yeah it’s fine, I never remember my line
And it’s too high to call it right

We cut a left, right, left, right, left, right, standing still
Flirt a fresh cool taste in the chase of a summer’s kill
The sun is high and the sky’s caving in tonight, but I don’t mind
Got a head start racing all the ghost kids down the hill
