Soft Parachutes Lyrics

Soft parachutes
Fourth of July
Villages burning
Returning
The bodies all laid in a line
Like soft parachutes

Last year as a senior
In Emerson High school

We used to get high
Now I am flyin

Don't ask me the reason

Villages burning
Returning
The bodies all laid in a line
Like soft parachutes
