Lyrics
A small town gets even smaller
A sense of confinement or limited space in a small town
When the city rollers come down
The arrival of urban individuals, making the town feel more cramped
Slow power walkers and feverish watchers
People moving slowly and anxiously observing
Summoned by the warm winds of winter
People attracted by the warm winter winds
Gone are the peaks and lulls
Reference to the absence of highs and lows, implying stability
It's summer forever
Expressing a desire for perpetual summer
Summer forever
Reiteration of the desire for eternal summer
A small town gets even smaller
Repetition of the town becoming smaller with the arrival of city dwellers
When the city rollers come down
Reiteration of the impact of city people on the small town
Arms out wide for a vitamin D dose
Describing open arms for sun exposure
Family tantrum, morose at the lighthouse
A family upset or argumentative situation at a lighthouse
Death by a dozen oyster cuts
Imagery of multiple oyster cuts leading to death
Sex on the beach in a motel block
Describing a romantic encounter in a motel block
It's summer forever
Reiteration of the desire for eternal summer
Summer forever
-Warm winds blowing
Description of warm winds and environmental changes
Crumbling clifftops
Reference to deteriorating cliff edges due to the winds
Fisherman's peril a tequila sunrise
Danger faced by fishermen, with a nod to a tequila sunrise
Abalone bites the dust fried up to a buttery crust
Imagery of abalone being cooked and consumed
Piping the lycra on a hillside hip-thrust
Describing a person wearing lycra performing a hip-thrust on a hillside
On a hillside hip-thrust
Repetition of the hip-thrust action on a hillside
On a hillside hip-thrust
-On a hillside hip-thrust
-It's summer forever
Reiteration of the desire for eternal summer
Summer forever
-Summer forever
-Summer forever
-And ever and ever and ever and ever
Emphasis on the everlasting nature of summer
