Summer Of Drugs Lyrics

Sister got bit by a copperhead snake
In the woods behind the house
Nobody was home so I grabbed her foot
And sucked that poison out
Sister got better in a month or so
When the swelling it went down
I'd started off my teenage years
With the poison in my mouth
Ohh we were too young to be hippies
Missed out on the love
Learned from teens in the late 70's
In the summer of the drugs
Mommas and daddy could never understand
Their lives were never dull
Their idea of a rollicking time was a kitchen taffy
pull

Acid grass downs and speed
Junk those days were made of How could they suspect those kids
Were monsters beneath their make-up
Ohh they were too young....
To boys and girls in every town
The sandman spread his sand around
Now we are all just waking up
From a summer of drugs
Mommas and daddies too shy to talk about those birds
and bees
In the integrated schools had stopped the facts of life
movies
Girls and boys went away came back empty after weekends
Talk on telephones consisted of hushed voices speaking
Oh they were too young
It was too much
Too thin
Oh yeah yeah yeah
