Lyrics
Night In Baghdad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And oh it's so beautiful It's like the fourth of July It's like a Christmas tree It's like fireflies on a summer night.
And I wish I could describe this to you a little better. But I can't talk very well right now cause I've got this damned gas mask on. So I'm just going to stick this microphone out the window and see if we can hear a little better. Hello California? What's the weather like out there now? And I only have one question: Did you every really love me? Only when we danced. And it was so beautiful. It was like the fourth of July. It was like fireflies on a summer night.
