fireworks



The body is wrapped is shadow

The face is built of cinders

And painc tears thro' your silhouette

As your squeezed by burning fingers

And he's crackling in our colours

With teeth of gelignite



When he sighs his song and pirouettes

Thro'a dance of dynamite



We are fireworks ¨c slowly, glowing

Bold and bright

We are fireworks ¨c burning shapes

Into the night



His fuel is our frustration

And dreams begin to ache

And all the while we wear a party smile

And happily we shiver

Happily we shake

Oh shake, shake, shake



We are fireworks ¨c slowly, glowing

Bold and bright

We are fireworks ¨c burning shapes

Into the night



Twist and turn ¨c burn, burn, burn

Twist and turn ¨c burn, baby, burn
