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
