CocoRosie - Lemonade lyrics
[CocoRosie - Lemonade lyrics]
It was Cinco de Mayo pillow case on his head
No more breathing time an ambulance sped
Sped 'round ever 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 desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside, too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll 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 lies of butterflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
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 desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside, too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
No more breathing time an ambulance sped
Sped 'round ever 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 desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside, too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll 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 lies of butterflies
How they shimmer, how they glimmer
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 desert dream
And got lost in father's singing
Too hot inside, too hot outside
Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride
We'll sail on Spirit Lake
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
