Lyrics

[Intro]
This, and I never let it happen
Hey, yeah, oh
[Verse 1]
When I think of you
It's always on my mind
Is that story true?
No one saves the day
Hey, yeah, oh
Don't you want the truth?
Ignore reality
See, I love that feeling too
Nobody's gonna stop right now
Hey, yeah, oh
[PreChorus]
Summer is coming, won't go away
Summer is coming, it's here to stay
Hey, yeah, oh
[Chorus]
I can't believe it
This is the eleventh hour
Psychedelic
Life is such a funny journey
Hercules, your service is no longer needed
It's just like make-believe
Hey, yeah, oh
[PostChorus]
They got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
Yeah, they got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
Hey, yeah, oh
[Verse 2]
Now that you heard the truth
All I need a friendly face
I hate that feeling too
But no one's unafraid
Hey, yeah, oh
Don't expect the truth
This is a fantasy
I fight that feeling too
But nobody's gonna stop us now
Hey, yeah, oh
[PreChorus]
Summer is coming, won't go away
Summer is coming, it's here to stay
Hey, yeah, oh
Lo and behold the salt of the city
Pillars like time are fading away
Symphony building up to a future
Mystery to solve for somebody else
Hey, yeah, oh
[Chorus]
I can't believe it
Life is such a funny journey
Psychedelic
This is the eleventh hour
Hercules, your service is no longer needed
It's just like make-believe
[PostChorus]
They got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
Yeah, they got the remedy
But they won't let it happen
[Outro]
Everybody's on the take
Tell me, are you on the take too?
Everybody's on the take
Tell me, are you on the take too?
[Outro]
Hey, yeah, oh
Hey, yeah, oh
Hey, yeah, oh
[Outro]
Look up on the bright side
I'm not gonna give it to ya
Look at it on the bright side
Hey, yeah, oh
Look up on the bright side
I'm not gonna give it to ya
Look at it on the bright side
Hey, yeah, oh
Look up on the bright side
I'm not gonna give it to ya
Look at it on the bright side
Hey, yeah, oh
Look up on the bright side
I'm not gonna give it to ya
Look at it on the bright side
