Sort of wonder why   No one said a word   Don't you like it on the sly?   Don't you like it till it hurts?      Have I been on your mind?   What's a voice without a song?   Somethin? in your head   You've been fightin? all along, well      I don't want to say it   The news is not so good   We'll never get away   And even if we could      We'd just play the tambourine   Around an open flame   Oversleep and burn   To be back in the game      'Cause summer never comes   Nowhere near high noon   And winter never comes   Nor the harvest moon      Raw sugar, I don't wanna die   Living in a high rise grave   My baby, come home   Same black day, high rise grave      Raw sugar, I don't wanna die   Living in a high rise grave   My baby, come home   Same black day, high rise grave      No, I'm not complaining   Yes, it could be worse   Ferment on the wish bone   Match the lips to the purse      Neighborhood's a runway   Fry the ass and thighs   Dirty diamond dealers   Pushed behind the aisles      And summer never comes   Nowhere near high noon   And winter never comes   Nor the harvest moon      Raw sugar, I don't wanna die   Living in a high rise grave   My baby, come home   Same black day, high rise grave      Raw sugar, I don't wanna die   Living in a high rise grave   My baby, come home   Same black day, high rise grave      Still I wear the red dress   Paint my toes and twirl   Take it back to old times   When I was still a girl      'Cause now I'm all baboon boys   Cootchie, cootchie, coo   Sort of wonder why   I missed a kiss for you      'Cause summer never comes   (Same black day, high rise grave)   Winter never comes   (High rise grave)      'Cause summer never comes   (Same black day, high rise grave)   Winter never comes   (Summer never comes)      Summer never comes   Summer never comes   (High rise grave)   Summer never comes   (Same black day, high rise grave)
