Lyrics

0:18Well I was born of the Earth

0:21With my hands to the sky

0:23And I'll die in the dirt

0:26On the fourth of July

0:28And my body will burst

0:31Into millions of sparks

0:33And I'll hang like a ghost

0:35In the trailer park until I'm gone

0:57Well I was born of the Earth

1:00With my hands to the sky

1:02And I'll die in the dirt

1:04On the fourth of July

1:06And my body will burst

1:09Into millions of sparks

1:11And I'll hang like a ghost

1:14In the trailer park until I'm gone

1:36And I can hear the wind blow

1:44It sounds like angels and babies breath

1:54So leave some dirt in my hands

1:57Lay my body in the street

1:59And I'll be searching out God

2:02To lay my stones at her feet

2:04And when the winds lay waste

2:06To the fields and the stars

2:09I'll be spinning my home

2:11In the back of your car

2:13Until it's done

2:33And I can hear the wind blow

2:42It sounds like angels and babies breath

2:52And I can see my mother's praying hands

3:01Like petals in the wind

3:04Sweeping across my yard

Well I was born of the Earth
With my hands to the sky
And I'll die in the dirt
On the fourth of July
And my body will burst
Into millions of sparks
And I'll hang like a ghost
In the trailer park until I'm gone
Well I was born of the Earth
With my hands to the sky
And I'll die in the dirt
On the fourth of July
And my body will burst
Into millions of sparks
And I'll hang like a ghost
In the trailer park until I'm gone
And I can hear the wind blow
It sounds like angels and babies breath
So leave some dirt in my hands
Lay my body in the street
And I'll be searching out God
To lay my stones at her feet
And when the winds lay waste
To the fields and the stars
I'll be spinning my home
In the back of your car
Until it's done
And I can hear the wind blow
It sounds like angels and babies breath
And I can see my mother's praying hands
Like petals in the wind
Sweeping across my yard
