Independence Day (Album Version) - 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
