Track Name: Summerette
If you see a pretty girl in the park at dawn
and she's taking her shoes off with her headphones on
You might think she's a catch and that the summer will last
if you give her a ride and she pays for your gas
And she says

"Run, run through the dry yellow grass
where you can cut up your legs and pick off the scabs,"
say, "Heat wave makes me feel brave
'cause we both know the winter is so far away"

Oohh - she's only a Summerette sometimes...

If you see a pretty girl and her shadow is long
and she's putting her shoes on for the long walk home
She says her house is too far to see, but not too far to feel,
"Well what the hell is that supposed to mean?"
But she means it, she says

"Run, run, run to the tracks,
Put your head to the rails and don't look back.
Heat wave gets you carried away
but when it comes to an end will you love what remains?"

Oohh - she's only a Summerette sometimes,
Oohh - who could keep up such a good mood?

Oohh- she's only a Summerette sometimes,
Oohh - who could keep up such a good mood?
Oohh - she's only a Summerette sometimes...
Track Name: Hypersleep
The last thing I saw, apart from all the fur on their parkas
a nose pressed to the glass and fogged up with a breath -
A familiar smile.

Mist came up from the floor of my refrigerator
I felt my body freeze, felt the slowing beat
I didn't die I was just resting my eyes -

Hold that thought - Life hiatus
If it gets hot then wake me up
If you have to go, well then forget me not
Yeah yeah yeah

Now my heart's a clot, solid as a rock.
If it starts to go, sometimes it pumps so slow
Its hard to tell if it has stopped.

And if I'm still here in a million years,
Break my hypersleep, you always come back for me
Right in the Nick of time -

Hold that thought - Life hiatus
If it gets hot then wake me up
If you have to go, well then forget me not
Yeah yeah yeah

Hold that thought - Life hiatus
If it gets hot then wake me up
If you have to go, well then forget me not
Yeah yeah yeah
Heart's a clot - Life hiatus
If it starts to bleed, then please wake me up
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Track Name: Pressure Points
Baby you've got so many rules,
I've got so much to learn about you.

'Cause every planet has its poles,
No one ever goes there though.

So take the time to show me the ropes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

If you never press my points,
All you got in the end are points for pressure.
If you never love me out loud,
All you got in the end are points for pressure.
How can you point me out,
when you've got me wrapped around your finger?

Sometimes all a sinking boat needs
is a finger sticking in the leak.

But every time I show you what I mean,
I see the lesson sinking through the seams.

Tell me how much clearer can I be?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

If you never press my points,
All you got in the end are points for pressure.
If you never love me out loud,
All you got in the end are points for pressure.
How can you point me out,
when you've got me wrapped around your finger?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
If you never press my points,
All you got in the end are points for pressure.
If you never love me out loud,
All you got in the end are points for pressure.
How can you point me out,
when you've got me wrapped around your finger?
