Memorial Day

We were all waiting for the month of may
To cut our long hair and learn how to walk away
Now it's gone
And now you'll never stay
We were all waiting for the month of may
To wash our dirty palms, covered in paper mache
Now it's gone
Remember memorial day?
Helicopters fall from trees and bury me in bad news
All I want is to dream again so I can see you
Listening in the morning to Phaedra sing the blues
All I want is to dream again
We were all waiting for the month of may
Before we cut our teeth, we bit our tongues in dismay
Now it's gone
The setting sun's tooth decay
We were all waiting for something to say
But when we woke up it was labor day
Now it's gone
