Firecracker

Firecracker, you waved in the night
And something that i saw was flaming
Your body, it was real in the light
On the fourth of july we were screaming

I saw the lonely road
You left and said to me don't follow
Cause i'll only bring you sorrow
And on down my lonely road
You left and i just said - no...

Well Im back in my old town again
Is there something still alive that i left here
Do you still like the boys on the street?
I will take you uptown to see you meet them

You know I've been reading the bible for a change

Maybe there's something i had missed there
I've seen some eyes in the rain
And they creep at my mind, i saw you whisper

A firecracker, you waved in the night
Something that i saw was flaming
Do you feel like we left something here?
Something worth coming back and clamming

I saw the lonely road
You left and said to me don't follow
Cause ill only bring you sorrow
And on down my lonely road
You left and said to me don't follow
You sleep and dream for tomorrow
And in the dead on night
You left and said to me don't follow
Cause ill only bring you sorrow
