Lemonade - CocoRosie

It was Cinco de Mayo

Pillow case on his head

No more breathing time

An ambulance sped

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's singing

Too hot inside

Too hot outside

Lazy days when I said let's go for a ride

We'd 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 light 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'd sail on Spirit Lake

Me my pappy and his lemonade

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'd sail on Spirit Lake

Me my pappy and his lemonade
