Jane's Addiction - Summertime Rolls Lyrics






Fell into
A sea of grass
And disappeared among
The shady blades...
Children all
Ran over me
Screaming tag!
You are the one!

He trips her as
Her sandals fail
She says stop!
I'm a girl...
Whose fingernails are made
Of mother's pearl...

Yellow buttercup
Helicopters
Orange buttercat
Chasing after
The crazy bee
Mad about somebody...

Me and my girlfriend
Don't wear no shoes
Her nose is painted pepper
Sunlight...
She loves me
I mean it's serious
As serious can be...

She sings a song and
I listen to what it says:
If you want a friend
Feed any animal...
There was so much space
I cut me a piece
With some fine wine
It brought peace to my mind
In the summertime...
And it rolled

Summer.... oh...
Oh.... the summertime rolls

    Not sayin' it's better, but I do like this song a wee bit more than Three Days.

  3. J.... B....

    Freshman year, experimenting with drugs, ladies hot summer nights. Timeless. Also one of the founders of a small thing called lollapalloza. Watch The Gift classic Janes Addiction

  4. N.... B....

    This song reminds me of my youth growing up in rural Bloomington Indiana on the side of this big hill. I had this creek that ran through at the bottom of this big hill with this big old gnarled walnut tree. I wouldnroll down the hill climb the walnut tree and catch craw-dads all day then run over to a little Jiffy treat, with my grass stained feet, to get a vanilla soft swirl. Damn!!!!!

  31. M.... G....

    the magic is real ...its beautiful...it rolls

  32. R.... S....

    My favorite song ever!!!!!!

  33. E.... L....

    This song always makes me feel nostalgic for a life that I never had. It makes me feel like I am am old man reflecting on my youth, but I'm 22 and I was homeschooled and do not have memories like that

  34. c.... b....

    This song brings me back to a summer I spent rolling around all hours of the night in a 1995 Toyota Camry. Such a daze that summer.

  35. G.... ....

    ahhhh memories....early 90's .I was just a kid,jumping in the pool,all day sun is shining ...me and my best friend....now i'm 37 y.o. feel so old now!But when i listen to this tune ,i'm not in present but in the beautiful old days..

  36. C.... D....

    For Vanessa

  37. C.... M....

    I discovered this when I was in sixth grade. No drugs, no booze... I understood this was basically musical magic.

  38. s.... ....

    Happy Birthday Perry .

  39. m.... ....

    funny how an opening bass line can take you back decades..for some of us to better times, but only because we had our youth. existence is precious at every stage, but there's something about carefree drug days and the feeling of "life is still ahead of you".. tripping out to jane's addiction was a formative experience...

    m.... ....

    dang bruh, i felt that.

    m.... ....

    I think you just spoke for an entire generation, I just got done mentioning to friends how this song always brought me back to my youth memories I will never forget

All These+bad religion+soundgarden and -from the radio- Counting Blue Cars by Dishwalla often on-air. After almost 23 years I still can remember every moment... The magic in life. Forza Napoli

Wish I could go back to the summer of no worries, no cares, tripping on acid, smoking the finest home grown, an just not a care in the world...

    Summer in the early 90's the radio station in San Diego (Mexico) 91X used the intro of this song "It's the Summer of the X" - now some 28 years later everytime I hear this I instantly go back to those days - the PERFECT SUMMER SONG

  66. C.... S....

    love this song!

  67. B.... S....

    Perfect song

  68. J.... S....

    This song takes me so far back, back when I was younger and there was so much ahead of me

  69. R.... M....

    What does H feel like for the first time?

  70. J.... ....

    i was coming back home from the ucla computer lab one night and stopped by the pizza place and this band was setting up. i stuck around and had my mind blown!

  71. C.... B....

    Such a chilled song losing Jane addiction

  72. M.... G....

    I was In the 7th grade. My oldest bro worked at werehouse music store. He brought this home and that' when my journey began with JA. Reminds me of a time just had to do homework and clean. Damn that was nice

  73. J.... S....

    This was my first CD purchase.
    Mine.

  74. A.... D....

    This a proper lovely song.I adore it.

  75. J.... Z....

    Evan zorn

  76. D.... M....

    63 people apparently are butt hurt from life..and should just go..

  77. s.... ....

    Never forget .

  78. F.... F....

    the sound of wasted youth riding a speed driven train into a drunken mushroom induced coma

  79. V.... S....

    Kind of reminds me of Kirby music on the N64

  80. t.... ....

    Reminds me of drinking in high school👍👍👍👍

  81. D.... M....

    probably my favorite Jane's Addiction song

    D.... M....

    Same! This is the song that I feel the most nostalgic for out of every song on the album. I used to go on long walks in the summer time and listen to this song. I also got high to this song a lot.

  82. S.... F....

    certain medication makes the speed of the song Perfect

  83. B.... D....

    Just me and my girl's getting stoned watching the sun go down over Lake Travis...

    B.... D....

    Lake Travis. I miss it. i miss the 90s. I miss my youth. If only I knew how perfect it all was. And then it was gone.

    B.... D....

    migangelmart Very cryptic. I would be so interested to know who you really are? What do you know of Lake Travis? I'm sorry this song brings back what sounds like bad memories and regrets.

  84. D.... W....

    Saw these guys live in LA at the first Lollapolooza back in '91. Beforehand I wondered how they would be outside of the club setting, playing in front of a large open air festival audience. They were majestic. As great a live band as has ever graced the earth.

    D.... W....

    i was there! what a show!

    D.... W....

    Saw them same tour in Saratoga, NY. One of the best live performances ever!

  85. J.... C....

    Sweet memories...... Timelessness written into my soul. Love this whole album

  86. P.... i....

    Greatest. Song. EVER.

  87. D.... R....

    I remember sitting in my car, with friends, on a gravel road, surrounded by corn fields, smoking a joint, on a pleasantly warm summers sunset, listening to this song back in the day.
    Glad I was that age at that time. I'd hate to be that age today and have missed out on life as it was then. Anyways great song. Their best IMO.

  88. G.... K....

    this song makes me eat pizza in the shower

    G.... K....

    Gil K and for that I already love you, Gil!

    G.... K....

    oooh fun

  89. J.... S....

    this song is about drug addiction...listen to the lyrics..

    J.... S....

    "fell into a sea of grass,,"

    J.... S....

    "me and My girlfriend dont wear no clothes,,,(Heroin)

  90. K.... P....

    I listen to this at least 3 times a night every night. Wish i knew of this song sooner. Born 1986

  91. W.... M....

    for now and forever.

  92. T.... ....

    this cold at my roots can't sink in, too deep for them to keep too deep.., i'll turn it into sun burn, and from sun burn, I have a mighty fine tan, I can dance in the sand for my lady, how does the sun dance so well at night.. how does the moon show up in the day so bright? ..they are a different kinda prism.. a different kinda light.. they fit together just right.. just right.. to many colours for their sight.. but the rain bows the rain bows.. to every trace till she's in her rightful place.. it's not that cold in space.. it reminds me of home I've always but never known..when I close my eyes.. holding the moon embraced <3 3 days 3 nights.. is that not a resurrections rate? I'll chew the nails that pin and pine.. 3 days 3 nights and a rose rises eager for a moments mystery with time.. by the gods, even they couldn't have guessed.. just how divine <3

  93. G.... J....

    i always listen to this on the last day of school

    G.... J....

    I seen this Band 2 or 3 times and they totally kicked ass live...

  94. s.... l....

    Jane's are in my blood! They have changed my life and how I listen to music forever. Thank you!!!

    s.... l....
