fourth of july

you said it's a devil, i said it's a bird

you brothers
you fireflies
you come in 
the summer

you brothers
you sinners
we sinners
we all

blue of the morning
it came while we're sleeping
flew through the window
the fourth of july

you said it's a devil
i said it's a bird
you said it's a devil
i said it's a bird

it sat and it stared
it said not a word.
