Masquerade

I will chase you all around
Keep one ear pressed to your clubhouse
You should let me paint your nails black
You let our shoulders touch when you sat in the back
Fending of mold where you've forgotten
You left the fruits of all our labor bruised and rotten

Got a masquerade on the Fourth of July
I sure do hope you're coming by yourself
Got a masquerade on the Fourth of July
Usually there's no boys allowed

And you will spin me on your back
Scrounge for change to buy us snacks
Sneak us past landmines of sleeping friends
Listen to Fontanelle till we both go deaf

And I'm terrified (You may have heard this one before)
It just doesn't feel like time
And I pray we rewind (The man got burned, the man got bored)
I guess the hero takes a dive (You may have heard this one before)
Stops making art, moves on with life
Didn't you get the latest rewrite? (The man got burned, the man got bored)

Well, it seems like such a waste to have you go end up this way
They really made a man out of my friend
I don't like you better at all
I prefer our name on green room walls
Roman candle fights
Try to burn me one more time

Masquerade on the Fourth of July
I sure do hope you're coming by yourself
Masquerade on the Fourth of July
Usually there's no boys allowed

You know I'm terrified (You may have heard this one before)
And I'm starting to feel the time
And I pray we rewind (The man got burned, the man got bored)
I guess the hero takes a wife (You may have heard this one before)
Goes door to door selling steak knives
Didn't you get the latest rewrite? (The man got burned, the man got bored)

Didn't you get the latest rewrite?
Didn't you get the latest rewrite?
Didn't you get the latest rewrite?
Last rewrite, last rewrite
Masquerade on the fourth of July
