When summer ends in death,   On a dirtbike chasin' Beth   All us kids with tennis balls   And a whiffle bat   And dad's Playboy centerfolds   And at nine or so we'd go   Sit in fields with fireflies   And smoke the cigarettes we stole      Oh yeah,   And the sunlight crawls around you   Oh yeah,   And draws a fable that we fell through   Pomegranate rain on my tongue   Under the Blood Orange Sun...   Under the Blood Orange Sun...      Ma got me out of bed   Saw the highway splashed in red   The school announcements said your name   I ran away instead   And wept on that hill we used to go,   Watch the Susquehanna flow   Later Tommy gave me details   That I didn't want to know      Oh yeah,   And the sunlight crawls around you   Oh yeah,   And draws a fable that we fell through   Some days are a dream on my tongue   Under the Blood Orange Sun...   Under the Blood Orange Sun...      Sun...   Blood Orange Sun...   Sun...      Got off at a change    When the summer ends in tears   The smell of the apples in the air   We moved out to Southern Cal, my summer belle   I left you there.      Where you fade, while the Siu's torched a car   And us young punks bum rushed the bar   We laughed 'til we fell around   A row of palm trees blazed against the dark      Oh yeah,   And the sunlight crawls around you   Oh yeah,   And draws a fable that we fell through   Pomegranate rain on my tongue   Under the Blood Orange Sun...   Under the Blood Orange Sun...      Blood Orange Sun...   Blood Orange Sun...
