Blood Orange Sun - Cherry Poppin' Daddies

When summer ends in death on a dirt bike chasin' Beth

All us kids with tennis balls and a Wiffle 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

And draws a fable that we fell through

Pomegranate rain on my tongue

Under the blood orange sun x 2

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

And draws a fable that we fell through

Pomegranate rain on my tongue

Under the blood orange sun x 2

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 pal I left you there

Where you fade, while the Sui’s torched a car

And us young punks bum-rushed the bar

We laughed till we fell around

A row of palm trees blazed against the dark
