Waterpark
We would hang out in the waterpark Now we just watch the sky for fires, load the kids into the car when clouds are black And drive into the safe zone until they say it's okay to come back We can't run around with our shirts off in an afternoon thunderstorm Because it hasn't rained in twelve and half years or so I don't know, I've lost track I can't recall the taste of beer, I've given up on fear Just like the HOA gave up on the lawns And the federal government gave up on the eastern seaboard We bought all the water we could afford I just picture the old cookouts and I try to forgive the ones who came before When I sleep at night, I can hear the phantoms of every Jay-Z summer anthem Dengue got him early, it's a blessing, I guess 'Cause when Brooklyn drowned the scavengers did what they do best And the Atlantic kept creeping West Don't you think it's odd that for centuries People looked up to the skies and worshipped the cause of our demise The sun God is a wrathful one, the sun God is a wrathful one As violent as he is wise I remember tales of cowboys on a high Western plateau I'd like to travel back in time, I've got nowhere else to go And no use for arroyos that will never fill with melted mountain snow Vultures are circling our subdivision I can't see you anymore, dust storms blur my vision But I can hear maurauders gathering, I can hear marauders gathering If you don't mind I'd rather think of summer the way it used to be Endless summer |
