She's been afraid of the Cuisinart since 1977
|
Now when she opens up the house
|
Well, she won't set foot in the kitchen
|
Her brother's dating an architect
|
They're coming up for the weekend
|
He never gave her the proper respect
|
But she still meets the ferry to greet them
|
|
Oh, at the summer place
|
We've got the space if you've got the time
|
And the summer place is so far away
|
It's another state of mind
|
Mind, mind, mind
|
|
She ran away back in '78
|
Just down the beach to the neighbors
|
They brought her back after sunset
|
But dad sad "Don't do me any favors"
|
Her mom would sit on the pateo
|
She said she needed the sea air
|
She'd drink a fifth of Seagrams
|
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair
|
|
Oh, at the summer place
|
We've got the space if you've got the time
|
And the summer place is so far away
|
It's another state of mind
|
Mind, mind, mind
|
|
At 15 shoplifting
|
Was the only game she liked to play
|
At 40 she's still bored
|
She thinks about it then decides to pay
|
And still she can't help feeling
|
Those good old days don't seem so far away (seem so far away)
|
But should just yesterday
|
|
She took a handful of mushrooms
|
That she got from a surfer
|
She spent a night in a hospital room
|
So the doctors could observe her
|
|
Oh, at the summer place
|
We've got the space, you should drop on by
|
At the summer place the injuries fade
|
But the memories last a lifetime
|
Lifetime, lifetime, lifetime
|
