It's Summertime
Flaming Lips, The · Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
And I can understand if you still feel sad
It's summertime
And though it's hard to see its true possibilities
When you look inside, all you'll see
When you look inside, all you'll see
Is a self reflected inner sadness
Look outside
I know that you'll recognize
It's summertime
It's Summertime
