Fireworks

These eleven days of summer I have called you
 You always come when I call you
 But I don't hear your feet
 We swallowed up the river
 But still we never found you
 The season came and it drowned you
 In sorrow and in heat
 Oh, what's happening?
 Call it the nation's
 Call it the nation's war
 Oh, it's happening
 This morning we woke up
 This morning we woke up old
 Mmmhmmm
 ♪
 I could feel your breathing
 Your healing heart was beating
 But now my head is beating
 Like the clapper of a bell
 The fireworks are funny
 The duds fall in the water
 Fizzling like futures
 The hissing sound of hell
 Oh, what's happening?
 Call it the nation's
 Call it the nation's war
 Oh, it's happening
 This morning we woke up
 This morning we woke up old
 Mmmhmmm
 ♪
 From here the days get shorter
 Tireless, but older
 Come on, let's get older
 And keep our hands held down
 From here the days get shorter
 Tireless, but older
 Come on, let's get older
 And keep our hands held down
 From here the days get shorter
 Tireless, but older
 Come on, let's get older
 And keep our hands held down
 Oh, what's happening?
 Call it the nation's
 Call it the nation's war
 Oh, it's happening
 This morning we woke up
 This morning we woke up old
 Mmmhmmm
