Summer Turns to High

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.

Mercury is rising still 
Turn the fan on high 
I won't step on my own shadow 
No one wants to cry 

Someone put a pox on me 
I'll spit in their eye 

Summer turns to high 

With my bed sheet cape and sandals 
Circle citronella candles 
Summer's here, the light is raising 
Hopes and dragonflies 

If those hopes are overshadowed, 
Cotton candy, caramel apple. 

Summer turns to high 
Summer turns to high 
Summer turns to high, 
Summer high 

After wine and nectarines 
The fireflies in time 
Move like syrup through the evening 
With a sweet resign 

I won't pine for what could have been- 
I'm preoccupied! 

Summer turns to high 
Summer turns to high 
Summer turns to high, 
Summer high.
