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 in the summer corn row Ate icecream in a desert dream Got love in father seeing you Too hot inside to hot outside Lazy days when you said just 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 lie of butterflies How they shimmer, how they glimmer Those butterflies
We seven kids, we almost died Nearly put to death But lightning strike Instead there was hot pink Flashes in the sky We climb the rocks in snowing rain In search of magic power
To heal our mother's pain
Shot a rabbit from the back seat window Sat and watched in the summer corn row Ate icecream in a desert dream Got love in father seeing you Too hot inside to hot outside Lazy days when you said just go for a ride We'll sail on Spirit Lake, Me, my pappy, and his lemonade
