River Trash - Summer in the Dark Ages (1993) Lyrics

Today we climbed that water tower
Behind the factory that is closed
We threw our rocks through windows
Of abandoned houses full of ghosts

We rode our bikes to Mulberry
And swung on the chains of the broken swings
We ran wild in tall grass
And jumping over sewage streams

But the sun never went down
No, the sun never went down
No, the sun never went down
And the moon never came

Today we played some baseball
With a couple of sticks and a pecan
We walked around picking up cigarettes
From the side of the road and in our yards
We killed our cells behind Webb school
It always stood there in the dark
Yeah, we were still in the dark

But the sun never went down
No, the sun never went down
No, the sun never went down
And the times never changed

Today we went out walking
Just snooping around a patch of woods
We found some empty beer cans
A busted condom and checkbooks
A dried pool of blood, oh we shook

We decided it best not to talk about it
We decided best not to speak
We decided it best not to talk about it
We decided best not to speak

And the sun never went down
No, the sun never went down
No, the sun never went down
But the summer fell away
