Black clouds in a summer fire
Black clothes in your memory
Your wicked plastic smile, a transparency
The fire's dancing just like me

Nightfall used to be your ocean
And I your bridge to cross
I survived your deadly potion
Only you can feel the loss
Now you're looking at me to be your boss

You can see me flicker in the light of your eyes
And I won't be a victim of your terrible lies
And you can find me dancing by the light of the moon
But you won't find me coming back to you
Too soon, too soon, too soon, too soon

Hot summer has come to meet you
Right there where you left it last
The sweep of loud cicadas
That sing of summers past
You take the green right from the grass

You can see me flicker in the light of your eyes
And I won't be a victim of your terrible lies
And you can find me dancing by the light of the moon
But you won't find me coming back to you
Too soon, too soon, too soon, too soon
