"August 1973" lyrics

"August 1973"

They tried to hold the summer hostage
In an acrylic cage
And tar on a mountain
In the middle of the sea

The fire never takes our side
So we burn, burn, burned
Yeah we burn, burn, burn
Oh

Well the teeth, with time, a crooked line
[?] crest of the waves that gnaws
Upon the rocks and on the cliff

We were like satellites, satellites
So we burn, burn, burn
Yeah we burned, burned, burned
Yeah we burned, we burned, we burned
Oh
