Panda Circus - "Next Summer" (video 4/10)

(Panda Circus live at Abe & Jake's in Lawrence, Kansas. January 24th 2008.)

Lyrics:

we used to try and race the moon
we used to sleep in 'till the afternoon
just to pretend that we were alive
just to pretend that we were
and I remember in september when it always rained
and you listened to the radio every day
though I don't even remember what songs they played
since they all sounded the same

and we'd make plans to leave the states
and live as fugitives 'till we die
and it never even occurred to us
our ideas were a waste of time
and still our parents told us we were lazy
and we just ignored them
and our friends thought we was crazy
whenever we told them...

next summer, we're gonna
next summer, we're gonna
get lost, get found, get the hell out of town
next summer, we're gonna
next summer, we're gonna
run away, drive around, turn it all upside-down

my freshman year went by so fast
my mind was always outside of class
and incidentally all my grades were C's
but who am I to dwell in the past
and my teachers acted so concerned
they asked what kind of future had I earned
and then I tried, I tried, I tried so hard
to seem like I didn't care

and it got harder and harder to find the time
to say what we really meant to say
like how we just adjusted to monotony
and how we laughed our dreams away
and still our parents told us we were lazy
and we just ignored them
and our friends thought we were crazy
whenever we told them...

next summer, we're gonna
next summer, we're gonna
get lost, get found, get the hell out of town
next summer, we're gonna
next summer, we're gonna
run away, drive around, turn it all upside-down

so your preacher think you're going to hell
it's just as well, heaven's boring anyway
your conscience says you're doing well
so what the hell, I don't see why things should change
your preacher thinks you're going to hell
it's just as well, heaven's boring anyway
your conscience says you're doing well
so what the hell, I don't see why things should change
you know, my parents still think that I'm lazy
but I just ignore them
and my friends still think I'm crazy
'cause I still tell them...
