Hot Scary Summer

(album: Darling Arithmetic - 2015)

Oh, Lord

So you thank me for my hard work
But you've had it up to there
'Cause this shouldn't be hard work
But I'll fight to care, if you'd care to fight

Thank you for your hard work
But I've had it up to here
'Cause this shouldn't be hard work
At least not the kind that makes us

Half a person, half a monster
Stuck together in this hot, scary summer
Oh, Lord
Hot, scary summer

Remember kissing on the cobble stone
In the heat of the night
Then all the pretty young homophobes
Looking out for a fight

He got good at pretending
Then pretending got as good
He's always been up against it
But now it's sad to see

We're up against each other
In this hot, scary summer
Oh, Lord
Hot, scary summer

I live inside you and you live in me
And I live inside you and you live in me
Nothing's gonna change that, dear
Nothing's gonna change that, dear

Not even being apart
We travel right to the heart of this
Hot, scary summer
Oh, Lord
A hot, scary summer

So you thank me for my hard work
But we've had it up to here
'Cause this shouldn't be hard work
A least not, the kind that makes us

Half a person, half a monster
Stuck together in this hot, scary summer
