Coffee Covered Sun

Watching as the stars go by On this strange and ethereal wave The sunshine burning down on This fine and wild ride Fly on the Dream Bean Too close to the heat Release the cargo, my friend Cut the engines, grab a mug And give a hearty toast To our coffee covered sun For we have seen the summer rise Rise with the sun in the morning The early warmth that bids the night its leave We grin stupidly, happily, wickedly Electric that is what they say This feeling in the air of this place Sharp and strange and new Free and wild and barely restrained So suddenly do I see this A stark contrast to my old pain I now see a world full over A light shines in the darkest way Like flash-tag Summer with tangled hair and slashed jeans The season of commerce and play Well goodbye, friends This best of times shall never stop As the sun shines down You smile and cry in the walls we trust And so, farewell For what is in the game? But for wild abandon and a name?
