Masquerade

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 'til we both go deaf

[Refrain]

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)

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

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)

[Outro]

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
