St. Vincent
Cruel Summer
[Verse 1]
Fever dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it

[Pre-Chorus]
Killing me slow, out the window
I'm always waiting for you to be waiting below
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
What doesn't kill me makes me want you more

[Chorus]
And it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules, unbreakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
With you

[Verse 2]
Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine
I'm not buying
We say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But cut the headlights, summer's a knife
I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone
Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes
And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know

[Chorus]
Oh, it's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules, an unbreakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
[Bridge]
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar
Said, "I'm fine," but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
And I snuck in through the garden gate
Every night that summer just to seal my fate
And I'd scream, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
He looks so pretty like a devil

[Chorus]
It's new, the shape of your body
It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
It's cool, that's what I tell 'em
No rules, an unbreakable heaven
But ooh, woah-oh
It's a cruel summer
With you
