Fourth of July

I fell in love on the fourth of July
The parade goers cheered and the jets hit the sky
On the shores of Manhattan, you kissed me goodbye
I recall my sick,sweet thoughts screaming "is this how'll you die?"

We questioned strange spellings
We queried his tellings
We pondered our findings
And forgot all our remindings

How can i last in a cement ridden sea
It sticks to my arms and holds tight on my knees
Never could i escaped even if i pleased
For it's taken me below to a future of disease.

I fell in love on the fourth of July
I still remember the sound of parades and jets in the sky
When we met in Manhattan, you kissed me good bye
Funny how it's only now i recall how I died.
