Lyrics
Under All the Weight of the Summer The ice has all melted, the party's moved on and left this disaster to welcome the rays of the sunrise. Things always look rosy at sunrise. But who said the living is easy under all the weight of the summer? Who can afford to be lazy under all the weight of the summer? The mice in the kitchen are busy getting fat. They live off the plunder that's left there to welcome the sunrise. Things always look rosy at sunrise. But who said the living is easy under all the weight of the summer? Who can afford to be lazy under all the weight of the summer? We screen out the sun and blot out the stars with street lights we fire up nightly, while gold is the sunshine and diamonds the starlight we try to hold onto tightly. The rice on the doorstep settles in the cracks. The honeymoon, over, has left us to welcome the sunrise. Things always look rosy at sunrise. But who said the living is easy under all the weight of the summer? Who can afford to be lazy under all the weight of the summer? The price of the clean-up is anybody's guess. Meanwhile the lawyers, they argue to welcome the sunrise.
