Younger one, darkly tanned, chewing gum
Mint on her mischievous tongue
Mingling with a taste of tin on her gums
Each layer removed revealed a paler shade of skin
Each subtle shade fell like a secret shed
She was my reward and I was hers
The summer glazed our skin but it scorched everything
Tentative, her body's out like Spanish eyes
Captured by all who like to nullify the alcohol
She kept her jeans on in bed
Her mother let me stay after the disco made us deaf
'Cause we missed the final metro to the flat that she once let
She was my reward and I was hers
The summer glazed our skin and it torched everything
Each layer removed revealed a paler shade of skin
And each subtle shade fell like a secret shed
She was my reward and I was hers
The summer glazed our skin but it scorched everything
