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 (gone, 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 (gone, gone)
Remember memorial day?

Wo-ho wo-ho
Wo-ho wo-ho

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 (gone, gone)
The setting sun's tooth decay

We were all waiting for something to say
And 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
