4th of July — The Song Lyrics

The Fourth of July will always be most tightly linked in the American mind with the Continental Congress adopting the Declaration of Independence in 1776. 

and

On July 4, poet Walt Whitman publishes his masterpiece, a collection of poetry, Leaves of Grass, in Brooklyn, New York. It remains an essential part of the canon of American literature.

and 

On July 4, 1886, the Statute of Liberty, a present from the people of France, is dedicated in New York Harbor, exactly two years after it was first presented as a gift from the French to the U.S. in Paris.

and

On July 4, 1862 during a voyage on a rowboat, writer Lewis Carroll entertains 10-year-old Alice Lidell with a tale that he called Alice's Adventures Under Ground. Exactly three years later, on July 4, 1865, his tales are published as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Deep wells, deep wells run dry

Driving and love, share some equal truth
Fell in love with my car like I fell for you

Got addicted to your looks and speed
You drove me down, with your high cost needs

Off the lot, down Pauper Street
Five minutes later, my pocket started to bleed

Working hard to make this last
You shiny little babies were out of gas

I bought you pearls and nitro gasoline
Mad Max loaned me some kerosene

I had to steal to keep you fed
Champagne, caviar and tetra ethyl lead

I start to pray, when I’m low on fuel
Ready to rob, what would Jesus do?

I’m heading east for the sand, no surf
100 bucks a gallon, that’s what it’s worth

Atomic fission our souls will boil
Ten pints of blood for a quart of oil
Deep wells
Deep wells run dry

Oh there’s no chance for sleepin’ 
On this sultry summer night 
I’ve been crossin’ the Brooklyn Bridge once again 
Like a burglar trying to steal your heart tonight 

You’re the one I dream about 
The one I want to make my own 
And I know there’s no reason 
For you to be sleeping alone 

Hey now darlin’ 
Won’t you dream of me hey now darlin’ 

Oh this bridge looks like a thousand years old
With a million stories scarred and told 
It’s all granite, sweat and steel 

And the mist is just a witness 
To those river ghosts surreal
This long ordeal 

I could have taken the train 
But I needed just to walk 
Now I’m starin’ up at your fourth floor window 
I wish I could see you so we could just talk 

Hey now little darlin’ 
Your mama turned out the lights 
Hey now little darling 

Oh you’re just daddy’s little girl 
You’re not mine for me 
Oh you’re just daddy’s little girl 
And I hope I’m a thought in your sleep 

You’re just daddy’s little girl 
You’re not mine for me 
You’re just daddy’s little girl 
And I hope to be a part of your dreams 

There’s no chance for sleeping
