We were all waiting for the month of may To cut our long hair and learn how to walk away Now it's gone (gone, gone) And now you'll never stay We were all waiting for the month of may To wash our dirty palms, covered in paper mache Now it's gone (gone, gone) Remember memorial day? Wo-ho wo-ho Wo-ho wo-ho Helicopters fall from trees and bury me (in bad news) All I want is to dream again (so I can see you) Listening in the morning to Phaedra (sing the blues) All I want is to dream again We were all waiting for the month of may Before we cut our teeth, we bit our tongues in dismay Now it's gone (gone, gone) The setting sun's tooth decay We were all waiting for something to say And when we woke up it was labor day Now it's gone And now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone Now it's gone
