Summertime is keeping score
Of lovers playing tag outdoors
Round picnic baskets juicy bright
On blankets drenched in Northern Lights
Symbols left, promises made
Friends necking in the shade
Rusty wires surround the map
Where others do not dare to pass
Take your shoes off feel the grass
Take your shoes off feel the grass
Dangerous fruit
Take a trip to the dark side
We can hide from the sunlight
Tucked beneath apple trees
With the bluejays and bees
And a can of whipped cream
Where everything is so ripe!
Colours bursting out of triangle leaves
So ripe
Berries shaped like Moroccan beads
We're much to young to say "Good night"
Friendship making under trees
Where fruit is raining down for free
They took a bite and then they tore
Off their clothes and ate some more
Til they felt the weight of their song
Like wolves howling at the dawn
The sun woke up only to see
The lovers wrapped in ecstasy
It chased them out with hand grenades
The couple fled to San Tropez
Dangerous Fruit
Take a trip to the dark side
We can hide from the sunlight
And it feels so extreme
Lemons ripped at the seam
Just making me scream
That everything is so ripe!
Colours bursting out of triangle leaves
So ripe
You've discovered my top secret scheme
We're much to young to say "Good night"
