[Verse]

D E B

black clouds in a summer fire

black clothes in your memory

your wicked plastic smile

D E B A

A transparency

G E D E B

the fire's dancing just like me

D E B

nightfall used to be your ocean

and I your bridge across

I survived your deadly potion

D E B A

only you can feel the loss

G E D E B

now you're looking to me to be your boss

D E B A

[Chorus]

B E

you can see me flicker in the light of your eyes

A E

and I wont be a victim of your terrible lies

B E

you can find me dancing by the light of the moon

A E D E B

but you wont find me coming back to you, too soon

hot summer has come to meet you

right there where you left it last

the sweep of loud cicadas

that sense of summers past

you take the green right from the grass

[Chorus]
