R.E.M. - Summer Turns to High lyrics

Mercury is rising still turn the fan on high
I won't step on my own shadow
No-one wants to cry someone put a pox on me
I'll spit in their eyes

Summer turns to high

With my bedsheet cape and sandals
Circle citronella candles
Summer's here the light is
Raising hopes and dragonflies
If those hopes are
Overshadowed by cotton-candy, caramel-apple

Summer turns to high summer turns to high
Summer turns to high summer high

After wine and nectarines the
Fireflies in time
Move like syrup through the evening
With a sweet resign


I won't pine for what could have been
I'm preoccupied

Summer turns to high summer turns to high
Summer turns to high summer high
