"Summer Of Drugs (MTV Unplugged Live)" lyrics
(originally by Victoria Williams)
Sister got bit by a copperhead snake in the woods behind the house
And nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I sucked that poison out
Sister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down
But I'd started off my teenage years with the poison in my mouth
And we were, were too young to be hippies
We missed out on the love
Learned from the teens of the late-70s of the summer of the drugs
Mama and daddy could never understand that life was never dull
Their idea of a rollicking time was a kitchen taffy pull
Acid, grass, downs and speed, junk those days were made of
How could they suspect that were the monsters beneath their makeup
And we were, were too young to be hippies
We missed out on the love
Learned from the teens of the late-70s of the summer of the drugs
Boys and girls in every town
The sandman spread his sand around
But we are just waking up
From a summer of drugs
Mama and daddy could never understand that the life was too [?]
The integrated schools had stopped, the facts of life movies
Boys and girls went away, came back empty after a weekend
All that they could suspect to hear was the hushed voices speaking
And we were, were too young to be hippies
We missed out on the love
Turned to a teen in the late-70s of the summer of the drugs
And we were, were too young
We were too fast
Of the summer of drugs
Of the summer of drugs
And nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I sucked that poison out
Sister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down
But I'd started off my teenage years with the poison in my mouth
And we were, were too young to be hippies
We missed out on the love
Learned from the teens of the late-70s of the summer of the drugs
Mama and daddy could never understand that life was never dull
Their idea of a rollicking time was a kitchen taffy pull
Acid, grass, downs and speed, junk those days were made of
How could they suspect that were the monsters beneath their makeup
And we were, were too young to be hippies
We missed out on the love
Learned from the teens of the late-70s of the summer of the drugs
Boys and girls in every town
The sandman spread his sand around
But we are just waking up
From a summer of drugs
Mama and daddy could never understand that the life was too [?]
The integrated schools had stopped, the facts of life movies
Boys and girls went away, came back empty after a weekend
All that they could suspect to hear was the hushed voices speaking
And we were, were too young to be hippies
We missed out on the love
Turned to a teen in the late-70s of the summer of the drugs
And we were, were too young
We were too fast
Of the summer of drugs
Of the summer of drugs
