Darlingside - Fourth of July lyrics

'all roads run from this one' Said a buckled up seat on the bus But we chuckled off at the next stop And nobody came after us We blinked at our freedom Took a right at a no-turn-on-red When we were younger we never got older We laid on the breaks then sped By the swallowed up barns Past the farms and the big fields The sun comin' up in our eyes Days were blackbirds charging up on a wire Nights were the fourth of july! Somebody said 'out there In the hole there's a miracle cure' While they rattled off all the side-effect scripture We dressed up and fell off the earth Into satellite lanes Past the plains and the great lakes The wool pulled down over our eyes Days were blackbirds charging up on a wire Nights were fast-forward rewind Nickels in the fountains And the lobbies among the downtowns We sleep next to monsters we're hopin' to k** When the glory days come back around And we find our old movies On the floor of the attic The scenes shuffle by in our eyes Days are blackbirds charging up on a wire Night are the rest of our lives
