Cocorosie - Lemonade

It was Cinco de Mayo
Pillow case on his head
No more breathing time
An ambulance sped
It 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 desert dream
And got lost in father singing
Too hot inside too hot outside
Lazy days when I said just go for a run
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 lie of butterflies
How they shimmered how they glimmered Those butterflies

We seven kids, we almost died
Nearly put to death
By lightning strikes
Instead there was hot pink
Flashes in the sky
We climbed the rocks in snow ‘n' 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 singing
Too hot inside too hot outside
Lazy days when I said just go for a run
We'll sail on Spirit Lake,
Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
