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
