Lyrics:

Cruel summer, like no other
I thought you'd throw the first punch by now
I need water, we need water
I need something just to wash this down with

Open the shutters, to let the light out
Painting by numbers and going south
I need thunder, we need thunder
I need something for my summer drought

Shake it off, shake it off
Don't let that big idea go to waste now
Shake it off, shake it off
Come on, come on, there's no time to waste now

Cruel summer, for cruel lovers
This bodega's got a club in the basement
I need water, we need water
I share a taxi with the local native

Waiting on a big check, playing on a big set
Painting by numbers and it's going south
I need water, we need water
I need something for my summer drought

Put it off, put off
Can do tomorrow what we can today
Put it off, put off
I drop the needle and the record says

Cruel summer, for fools somewhere
Double down while the market's high
I need contact, I need contact
Undercover on the edge of the block

Waiting on a big check, playing on a big set
Not everything I think comes out of my mouth
I need another, I need another
Just give me something for my summer drought

Put it off, put off
Can do tomorrow what we can today
Put it off, put off
I drop the needle and the record says

Put it off and wait, and wait for another day
Put it off at least for another day
