Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Riding down the road, it nearly struck me blind
You and me burning in the summertime
Let's go find some shady ground
Gotta get rid of that king hell frown
You and me burning in the summertime
You and me burning in the summertime
Scrape, scrape, scraping melted cheese
Say, "I love you" later please
You and me burning in the summertime
You and me burning in the summertime
Dark spots floating in front of my eyes
Mom said she turned it on them swattin' flies
You and me burning in the summertime
You and me burning in the summertime
Last night, I dreamt I kissed Neil Young
If I was a boy, guess it would be fun
You and me burning in the summertime
You and me burning in the summertime
Don't you know a city where the horses grow?
Green malls hangin', chillin' crows
You and me burning in the summertime
You and me burning in the summertime
I said it before and I'll say it again
I'm so happy we're just friends
Written by: Kim Gordon, Lee Ranaldo, Steve Shelley, Thurston Moore
