grey oceans

one of my favorite songs from cocorosie's newest album- grey oceans. 

lemonade

It was Cinco de Mayo

Pillow case on his head 

No more breathing time 

The ambulance sped

Sped 'round every corner 

Calling out his name

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a dessert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside

Too hot outside

Lazy days when I said lets go for a ride

We'd sail on Spirit Lake

Me my pappy and his lemonade

Tim and Tina were my parents names

They got engaged

They were inflamed

Seduced by the luck of butterflies

How they glimmer how they shimmer

Those butterflies

We seven kids

We almost died

Nearly put to death

By lightening strikes

Instead there was hot pink

Flashes in the sky

We climbed the rocks in snow and rain

In search of magic powers

To heal our mother's pain

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a dessert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside

Too hot outside

Lazy days when I said lets go for a ride

We'd sail on Spirit Lake

Me my pappy and his lemonade

Shot a rabbit from the back seat window

Sat and watched the summer corn grow

Ate ice cream in a dessert dream

And got lost in father's singing

Too hot inside

Too hot outside

Lazy days when I said lets go for a ride

We'd sail on Spirit Lake

Me my pappy and his lemonade
