Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A lazy rain am I

The skies refuse to cry

Cremation takes its piece of your supply

[Verse 2]

The night is dressed like noon

A sailor spoke too soon

And China's on the dark side of the moon

(Hit me now)

[Verse 3]

Platypus are few

The secret life of roo

A personality I never knew (Get it on)

[Verse 4]

My Greta weighs a ton

The archers on the run

And no one stands alone behind the sun

[Chorus]

It's been a long time since I made a new friend

Waiting on another black summer to end

It's been a long time and you never know when

Waiting on another black summer to end

[Verse 5]

Crack the flaming whip

Sailing on a censorship

Riding on a headless horse to make the trip

[Chorus]

Been a long time since I made a new friend

Waiting on another black summer to end

It's been a long time and you never know when

Waiting on another black summer to end

[Outro]

I been waiting

I been waiting

Waiting on another black summer to end

[Outro]

I been waiting

I been waiting

Waiting on another black summer to end

[Outro]

I been waiting

I been waiting

Waiting on another black summer to end
