Dandelion

When Harry met Sally it was settled

That Mary Jane would fall for Spiderman

The story was set in stone like

Tarzan and Jane, Yoko and John

You were like my Hollywood movie

The butterflies and Central Park kiss

Of course you would pursue me, I was Julia Roberts

I mean, how could you resist?

Well, I am the Fourth of July

I'm throwing you a fire in the sky

You could go blind in my light

But you were looking for an orchid

And I will always be a dandelion

Dandelion

So I put on the best of my Warhols

I could have been your Marilyn Monroe

But you had only eyes for the Mona Lisa

You shared my cab ride all the way home

But I am the Fourth of July

I'm throwing you a fire in the sky

You could go blind in my light

But you were looking for an orchid

And I will always be a dandelion

I am a middle class home, I am a worn out banjo

I'll never dance in Swan Lake, I'll never play the cello

I am the Northern Lights, I am invisible

I am a dandelion, I am forever wild

I am the Fourth of July

I'm throwing you a fire in the sky

You could go blind in my light

But you were looking for an orchid

And I will always be

You were looking for a tea light

And I will always be a forest fire

A dandelion...
