Summer in Cloud City

[Verse 1: Will Sheff]
Blazed-out hours rolling, rolling by
Blissed-out years in the blink of an eye
Sing a song for the summer
Sing a song
Hazed-out hearts, days and years apart
A sobbing at the site where you last felt that absent part
Tell me what you remember
Okay, I'll start

[Chorus 1: Will Sheff]
I remember being green
It was easy for me
And I remember that green feeling leaving
High up for that city in the sky
Do you remember being blue?
Was it natural for you?
'Cause nobody gets out of grieving
High up for that city in the sky

[Verse 2: Will Sheff]
Was it moving back then?
Was it moving along?
Like a '74 song?
Lots of drinking it off
Lots of waking in cars
Lots of living in bars
And the truth, for me, it's never changed
Although it's been I don't know how many years
Girl, come and hold me, just hold me in your mind
I'm down in the cellar, and I'm singing my lines
And I'm dreaming that dream
Am I still in the scene?
I'll sing this song for our summer

[Saxophone Solo]

[Bridge: Beth Wawerna]
She wrote a message to an old friend
It read, "I'll bet we never see that city again"
The skyline afloat
In icy hydrogen
We're just gonna both
Have to remember it

[Chorus 2: Will Sheff]
Do you remember being pink
And people wanting to know what you think?
There was a bar where you could always drink for free
High up in that city in the sky
Do you remember being right?
You were automatically dynamite
You would press or lean in so tight and you'd whisper to me
We're high up, high up in that city in the sky

[Verse 3: Will Sheff]
Drunk again and disco blazing, with a song shaken loose from my heart
I'll sing a song for the summer, for the summer
Sing a song, a song

[Chorus 3: Will Sheff]
I feel like a ghost at the wrong feast
Searching for the guests, or the door, or the bathroom, or the bar, or the coat check at least
(High up in that city in the sky)
And sometimes I can feel the seed of some eventual stop
Nothing is made to last
Nothing to learn, nothing that can be taken from the top
(High up in that city in the sky)
The city, city in the sky, make my bed upon the tide
See the ocean blowing and see the wave, see the whitecaps bashing, crashing, hey
(High up in that city in the sky)
I don't want this to be
One day I'll get killed
'Til then I wanna hold on to our love
(High up in that city in the sky)
