Independence Day - Mia Doi Todd

Written by：Mia Doi Todd

There's a battleship

Parked in the river

Reenacting open doors open arms then open fire

There are mushroom clouds and machine gunned

Copters descending

In the snap crackle pop

Fizzle of the fireworks

As they blast into the night air

Breathed in by innumerable passengers

Screaming we are

Number one

Independence day

Our freedom is won to choose our own way

When to go what's to come

But with each tie we break

There is sacrifice

How many lives will it take

How many loves just must die

There's a man I just met

He hasn't kissed me yet

He reminds me of someone else only better

But I'm made out of wax

So easy to impress

Am I melting too fast dripping into your lips because

All my heroes have turned human this year

Slinking 'round the pool tables sinking into unfabled stupors

Whispering into the night air

Or into some girl's hair

I am number one

Independence day

Our freedom is won to choose our own way

When to go what's to come

But with each tie we break

There is sacrifice

How many lives will it take

How many loves just must die

There's a battleship

Parked in the charles river

Shooting off fireworks

That light up the world and then fall into the water

My love's next to me head full of the next century

And wondering

Whether there'll be a wedding tomorrow

And the secret smoke signals

In the aftermath of gun powder

Seem the most significant indication

Of what's to come

Independence day

Our freedom is won to choose our own way

When to go what's to come

But with each tie we break

There is sacrifice

How many lives will it take

How many loves just must die
