Memorial Day - The Accidentals

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 mâché

Now it’s gone

Remember memorial day?

Whoo-who, whoo-who, whoo-who, whoo-who

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

And now it’s gone

Now it’s gone

Now it’s gone

Now it’s gone, now it’s gone, now it’s gone

Now it’s gone, now it’s gone, now it’s gone

Now it’s gone, now it’s gone, now it’s gone

Now it’s gone, now it’s gone
