  • In the summer, took my gun
    And made him go to Neverland
    He was something, my old husband
    He had all you'd ever want
    Did you say something? What'd you say?
    Was that your voice or was that me?
    Little voices buzzing poison
    Backward noise from everything
    Dr. Swango says I'm psycho
    Says they all from Neverland
    They'll never ever let me be
    Was that your voice or was that me?

    Dirty Dustin, said he saw him
    Playing ball with Dizzy Jim
    Dizzy Jim had never spoken
    Whispered back, "You murdered him"
    My heart strings broke and it was me
    I pull, they stretch infinitely

    In the summer silence, I was getting violent
    In the summer silence, I was doing nothing
    In the summer silence, I was getting violent
    In the summer silence, I was doing nothing

    Play with me, my love, in the summer sun
    I'll be waiting there, your favorite Cheshire grin
    Lay with me, my dear, in the evening clear
    I'll be dreaming in my paper-pale skin

    In the summer silence, I was getting violent
    In the summer silence, I was doing nothing
    In the summer silence, I was getting violent
    In the summer silence, I was doing nothing
    In the summer silence, I was getting violent
    In the summer silence, I was doing nothing
    In the summer silence, I was getting violent
    In the summer silence, I was doing nothing

    In the summer silence, in the summer silence
    In the summer silence, I was doing nothing Writer/s: David Algernon Bayley, John Bettis, Richard Lynn Carpenter
