Hey you, big star Tell me when it's over Hey you, big mood, guide me to shelter 'Cause I'm through When the two hits the six and it's summer Cloud, come (shove it, shove it, shove it) Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it) The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it) Aside (shove it aside) I think god is moving its tongue There's no crowd in the streets And no sun in my own summer The shade is a tool, a device, a savior See, I try and look up to the sky But my eyes burn Cloud, come (shove it, shove it, shove it) Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it) The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it) Aside (shove it aside) Cloud, come (shove it, shove it, shove it) Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it) The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it) Aside (shove it aside) I think god is moving its tongue There are no crowds in the streets and no sun in my own summer Come (shove it, shove it, shove it) Shove (shove it, shove it, shove it) The sun (shove it, shove it, shove it) Aside (shove it aside)
