Fourth of July Songtext
von Trophy Wife

I watched the fireworks in grass knee-high
On the fourth of July
On my back swallowed up by leaves
No stars in the sky

Highway roaring next to me
Bombs exploding over me
An overwhelming solitude
And where were you on the fourth of July


I watched smoke fall like acid rain
On the fourth of July
And it felt wrong to celebrate
All those men who died

Gas station fluorescent light
Supermarket late at night
Liminal space bleeding truth
And where were you on the fourth of July

I watched the sunrise in the sky
On the fifth of July
Moon waving her final goodbye
And I cried


Tree house dreams and levees pull
Me up from the reflecting pool
Towards the westward way I flew
And where were you and where was I
