Summer Daze

Them summer days, them summer nights We'd play all day til' the street lights We'd pray for rain when the heat would rise I was in a daze, that summer daze Waking up, set sail with captain crunch And maybe later we'll be be having lunch Lactose flows when I loosen the cap Floating in a silky sea of that 2 percent fat Adjust the foil on the TV antenna Trying to choose between the few channels was a dilemma But Channel three like a cannabis leaf Getting me higher through the levels, trying to handle my grief At lunch a boy's got to do what a boy's got to do Eat some cock a doodle doo flavored ramen noodle stew Finish with lunch and I dream of the fair's funnel fries No money, guess toast with sugar and peanut butter's fine Before I had a cluttered mind n cared about a buffer size Outside in the summertime with the friends and butterflies Until the street lights were on round supper time We played all day, do it again when the sun arised Them summer days, them summer nights We'd play all day til' the street lights We'd pray for rain when the heat would rise I was in a daze, that summer daze Sprinklers and water fights, especially on them hotter nights Fishing, never got a bite, pouring drinks with lots of ice A lot of Christ preached by the guys in the penny loafers Kicking in their 2 cents, claiming that the end is closer Can hear the ice cream man making his way down the street The last one we had was caught selling ounces of weed But me and my sister loved that drug that was creamy and cold Stealing change from our parents like it really was gold Get a whiff of the neighbors BBQ from heaven While I'm spitting out the seeds of my watermelon The cicada choir is singing a song Second verse, the birds chirp cause they're singing along Clouds race across the sky, but there ain't no finish It's kind of like the human race, cause ain't nobody winning Them summer days, them summer nights We'd play all day til' the street lights We'd pray for rain when the heat would rise I was in a daze, that summer daze At night sweat drips off my brow The cricket symphony, they sound so proud The noise of the box fan in the window drowns Out the sirens in distance and all of the neighborhood shouts Them summer days, them summer nights We'd play all day til' the street lights We'd pray for rain when the heat would rise I was in a daze, that summer daze
