[al:The Hissing of Summer Lawns]
[00:13.40]He bought her a diamond for her throat
[00:16.75]He put her in a ranch house on a hill
[00:21.07]She could see the valley barbecues
[00:23.68]From her window sill
[00:26.94]See the blue pools in the squinting sun
[00:32.37]Hear the hissing of summer lawns
[00:40.26]He put up a barbed wire fence
[00:43.87]To keep out the unknown
[00:46.85]And on every metal thorn
[00:50.12]Just a little blood of his own
[00:54.24]She patrols that fence of his
[00:57.21]To a latin drum
[00:58.82]And the hissing of summer lawns
[01:01.83]Darkness
[01:03.22]Wonder makes it easy
[01:04.98]Darkness
[01:06.27]With a joyful mask
[01:08.39]Darkness
[01:09.59]Tube's gone darkness darkness darkness
[01:12.12]No color no contrast
[01:26.30]~~~~~~
[01:42.41]A diamond dog
[01:44.12]Carrying a cup and a cane
[01:47.45]Looking through a double glass
[01:50.87]Looking at too much pride and too much shame
[01:54.53]There's a black fly buzzing
[01:56.29]There's a heat wave burning in her master's voice
[02:00.04]The hissing of summer lawns
[02:07.23]He gave her his darkness to regret
[02:11.30]And good reason to quit him
[02:14.16]He gave her a roomful of Chippendale
[02:18.03]That nobody sits in
[02:21.32]Still she stays with a love of some kind
[02:24.68]It's the lady's choice
[02:26.73]The hissing of summer lawns
