Steel Skies

Steel skies

No ties with the sweat and the flies

And heat of the summer

We sigh

We sigh

We had fun today

Even under hail and rain

'Cause we know a place to go

We know a place

With no watermelon rotting away

Insects snapping away

Sunburnt skin peeling away

Ice-cream melting away

Down neck and chest with Coppertone

Sandflies who won't leave me alone

There's a wasp in the butter, miles from home

A wasp in the butter, miles from home

Miles and miles and miles from home

There's sand in the sandwiches, I don't want it

Summer fun, so far from it

Summer fun

I want steel skies

Antarctic eyes

Those winter ills

Tingling chills

Nights alone beside a phone

By the fire at home

Steel skies

No ties with the sweat and the flies

And heat of the summer

Steel skies

Steel skies

Steel skies

Steel skies

Steel skies

Steel skies

Steel skies

Steel skies
