Sufjan Stevens, Fourth Of July (Official Audio)

[00:40.51] The evil, it spread like a fever ahead

[00:43.43] It was night when you died, my firefly

[00:51.93] What could I have said to raise you from the dead?

[00:55.38] Oh, could I be the sky on the Fourth of July?

[01:03.62] "Well, you do enough talk

[01:06.01] My little hawk, why do you cry?

[01:11.85] Tell me, what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?

[01:15.57] Or the Fourth of July?

[01:17.96] We’re all gonna die"

[01:29.12] Sitting at the bed with the halo at your head

[01:44.52] Was it all a disguise, like junior high?

[01:53.02] Where everything was fiction, future, and prediction

[01:56.47] Now, where am I? My fading supply

[02:03.64] "Did you get enough love, my little dove?

[02:08.96] Why do you cry?

[02:12.68] And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best

[02:16.66] Though it never felt right

[02:20.65] My little Versailles"

[02:30.21] The hospital asked, "Should the body be cast?"

[02:45.36] Before I say goodbye, my star in the sky

[02:53.85] Such a funny thought to wrap you up in cloth

[02:57.57] Do you find it all right, my dragonfly?

[03:04.47] "Shall we look at the moon, my little loon?

[03:10.05] Why do you cry?

[03:13.77] Make the most of your life, while it is rife

[03:18.29] While it is light

[03:21.74] Well, you do enough talk

[03:24.40] My little hawk, why do you cry?

[03:26.25] Tell me, what did you learn from the Tillamook burn?

[03:33.70] Or the Fourth of July?

[03:38.21] We’re all gonna die"

[03:41.93] We're all gonna die

[03:53.61] We're all gonna die

[03:56.80] We're all gonna die

[04:05.57] We're all gonna die

[04:14.07] We're all gonna die

[04:21.77] We're all gonna die

[04:33.73] We're all gonna die
