    Lyrics
    Summer of the Rolling Blackouts c&p 2001 m. soden, t. fritch

    We started working swing shifts,
    when the grid quit working days.
    on the fiteen night, it wasnt working right, the crew lost it, in every way
    someone lit a dumpster fire,
    the crew let out a whail
    going tribal on the wase bafket,
    screaming as they flailed

    I came back with a stapler,
    to whaack on two and pho
    was stopped by a vision,
    when I came through the door
    she was dancing by the dumpster,
    Lit only by flame
    her blouse tied up, her eyes rolled back,
    looking barely sane.

    (chorus var. 1)
    In the summer of the rolling blackout
    come away with me
    love is what it's all about
    let the rythm set you free

    faces striped with toner,
    wearing ties about their hed.
    The drum circle was grooving,
    loud enough to raise the dead.
    I didn't hear them anymore
    I just stood and watched her move
    as she was dancing toward me,
    I was lulled into the groove.

    she grabbed me by my waistband,
    leading me away
    into the darkened building,
    past the corporate displays
    into the owners office
    onto his leather chair.
    the air hung hot from no AC,
    and we made quite a pair.

    (chorus var. 1)
    In the summer of the rolling blackout
    come away with me
    love is what it's all about
    let the rythm set you free

    Br:
    Set me free 4x

    once the seasons turned to cooler, da crew was back on task
    no water cooler memories, not even if you ax'd
    was some family leave occuring, nine months to the day
    from the fiteent night, it wasn't working right, da crew lost it, 'n every way.

    (chorus var. 2)
    In the summer of the rolling blackout
    come away with me
    summer of the rolling blackout
    (whisper) love will set you free


    (chorus)
    summer of the rolling blackout (set me free)
    love is what it's all about
    love is what it's all about
    summer of the rolling blackout
