Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they ain't lending a hand

Yes indeed, oh, yes indeed

Keep the grammy for you, we need an Oscar

The greatest actors the world has ever seen

Slathering honey on our demons for the palate of the apathetic

Isn't that pathetic?

Our temples are at capacity but we continue to cram in

Body after body, soul after soul, opinion after opinion

'Til we don't care

What's really ours

Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they ain't lending a hand

Yes indeed (everybody, everybody)

Oh, yes indeed (everybody, everybody)

I would never leave you alone baby

Not to say I wouldn't if I could

I've read the story of the two black dogs

Society's stray and the stray's hound

Caressing and stabbing each other with a technician's touch

To may cries have cried with no tears

To may nets cast into fishless lakes

To may smiles cracked with no teeth

Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they ain't lending a hand

Everybody wants the summer without holding the rain

Everybody wants the feeling without touching the pain

Everybody wants the sweetness without tasting the bland

Everybody wants the help but they ain't lending a hand

Yes indeed, yeah

Smiling with no teeth, yeah

Smiling with no teeth

Smiling with no teeth
