INDEPENDENCE DAY
3:44
- we drove the car
- to the top of the parking ramp
- 4th of july
- sat out on the hood
- with a couple of warm beers
- and watched the fireworkds
- explode in the sky
- there was an exodus of birds from the trees
- cuz they ddin't know
- we were only pretending
- and the people all looked up and looked pleased
- and the birds flew around like the whole world was ending
- i don't think war is noble
- and i don't like to think love is like war
- but i got a big hot cherry bomb
- and i wanna slip it through the mail slot
- of your front door
- you can't leave me here
- i got your back now
- you'd better have mine
- cuz you say the coast is clear
- but you say that all the time
- so many sheep i quit counting
- sleepless and embarrassed
- about the way that i feel
- trying to make mole hills out of mountains
- building base camp at the bottom
- of a really big deal
- did i ever tell you how i stopped eating
- when you stopped calling me
- i was cramped up
- and shitting rivers for weeks
- and pretending that i was finally free
- you can't leave me here
- now that you're back
- you'd better stay this time
- cuz you say the coast is clear
- but you say that all the time
- we drove the car
- to the top of the parking ramp
- 4th of july
- i planted my dusty boots in the bumper
- sat out on the hood
- and i looked up at the sky
