[Verse 1] I found you by the curb One leg stuck in the clay Pink crown in a thunderstorm Like you knew a better way The yard was wild and wet The fence was leaning low You stood there like a joke Only I was meant to know [Pre-Chorus] And I laughed so hard I almost dropped the bag You leaned into the wind Like you were made to brag [Chorus] Flamingo in July Stay tall, stay loud Flamingo in July You don’t bow down (Flamingo in July) Pink and impossible Flamingo in July You own this ground [Verse 2] The kids came out to stare My neighbor shook her head Said “that thing’s gonna crack” I said “let it stand instead” By noon the rain was gone The sun hit every scar You were shining off the mud Like a crooked lucky star [Pre-Chorus] And I laughed so hard I almost dropped the bag You leaned into the wind Like you were made to brag [Chorus] Flamingo in July Stay tall, stay loud Flamingo in July You don’t bow down (Flamingo in July) Pink and impossible Flamingo in July You own this ground [Bridge] When the sky turns heavy You don’t ask why You just keep that grin And point at the sky I could use that trick I could use that glow A little junkyard grace In the middle of a show [Chorus] Flamingo in July Stay tall, stay loud Flamingo in July You don’t bow down (Flamingo in July) Pink and impossible Flamingo in July You own this ground
