lyrics

We used to roll like tumbled gems
And like the sea we’d writhe
When you were young and strong
And I was young and lithe
We used to wreak public havoc
You’d wrench me around in the street
Take turns in wrecking each other
We’d die before calling defeat

What was I wearing last time we danced this way?
I remember it was white
It must have been our wedding night

All those hard nights only women can do alone
Hard nights men can only do in company
I wouldn’t bet the farm on your lasting charm
I wouldn’t buy another ticket in your lottery

Where were we the last time you held me so tenderly?
I sat all night by your bed
You pulled me in...
And gave yourself to me

You were handsome, the devil
I was red Lilith’s revenge
But there’s no time for compliments now

about

Wasp Summer Berlin, Germany

After five years in Berlin, Europe’s grimy,
sleepless City of Fun, Wasp Summer makes
rock that is both agitated and dreamlike, offering grinding bass and taut drums
with spare, spaced-out guitar and
adventurous voice. The songs talk about resilience
and breaking with the past.
