lyrics

Meanwhile the sunrise sits there like a time-shared doghouse in the backwoods of home. Half-erected, heavily slitted where morning rays pour and light two silent bedfellows-- side by side are June and July.
June's a whisky drunk hell-bent shiner, he toils 'til ten every night. And with a punch card he cuts out for the lunar changeover and turns to neon signs singing, "I'm the longest love you'll ever find." But it ain't worth a scene without July in the wings.
And man she gets anxious when June gets so loaded and paces the floorboards, and rightfully so, she's a sight to be holding signature thunderstorms. And lo, when she sings and cackles it cracks the sky. But it ain't worth a peep if June went to sleep.
Well, the first comes on kitty paws, last like a buzzards "caw" and life's a wild kingdom of fun-- so drink it up and spit it out in pretty words from a pretty mouth 'cause you're never gonna hit thirty-one.
July mumbled as June turned and groaned. Neither could say where August was headed.
