Lyrics

Fever dream high in the quiet of the night


You know that I caught it (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
Bad, bad boy, shiny toy with a price
You know that I bought it (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

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

And it's new, the shape of your body


It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer

"It's cool, " that's what I tell 'em


No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you (yeah, yeah)

Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine


I'm not dying (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)
You say that we'll just screw it up in these trying times
We're not trying (oh yeah, you're right, I want it)

So 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, oh

It's new, the shape of your body


It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer

"It's cool, " that's what I tell 'em


No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you

I'm drunk in the back of the car


And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
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 (oh)
And I screamed, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
He looks up, grinnin' like a devil

It's new, the shape of your body


It's blue, the feeling I've got
And it's ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer

"It's cool, " that's what I tell 'em


No rules in breakable heaven
But ooh, whoa-oh
It's a cruel summer with you

I'm drunk in the back of the car


And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh)
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 (oh)
And I screamed, "For whatever it's worth
I love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
