It happened in the summertime
My cousin and I read the line
The open book shook our comfy lives
Ooooh

Destiny revealed to us
Descending from his mystery bus
Aaaah

'Til then we thought a permanent thing
Meant a permanent thing
But a permanent thing
Is no permanent thing
No we've no permanent place to play

And now and again aftershocks
Scar our thoughts with molten rocks
The scorching sun lies a touch ahead
Ooooh

The matter of time taught to us
Our parents would not be there to fuss
Aaaah

'Til then we thought a permanent thing
Meant a permanent thing
But no permanent thing
Is a permanent thing
No we've no permanent place to play

And I remember talking about time
And I remember shivers down my spine (X2)
And I remember shaking
Ooooh...

Quote (Gruff):
"(This book) said the Earth was gonna fly into the sun. Wow! We had no concept of time then so we thought it was going to be in the near future. Next year, next week maybe! We'd never thought about death before and that made us concentrate a bit too hard. We freaked out!"
