Christophe Beck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are fine, you are white, I am of color. Let's fall in love.
Ice cream castles in the summertime.
Ice cream castles in the summer.
I want you, you want me, we want each other. Is that so wrong?
It's raining. Mad sisters, why can't they realize, that it won't be long?
We're all ice cream castles in the summertime.
Ice cream castles in the summer.
Let's do something soon.
We are young, we are free. Let's come together before the end.
I am blue, you are too, what could be better? Let's make friends.
We're all ice cream castles in the summertime.
Ice cream castles in the summertime.
We're all ice cream castles in the sun.
Ice cream castles when we fall.
Ice cream castles in the summertime.
Summertime, summertime, summertime.
Is that what you need?
White girls, black girls, orientals, Jamaican?
Ice cream castles in the summertime.
We're all ice cream castles in the sun.
Ice cream castles when we fall.
Ice cream castles in the summertime.
Summertime.
