Firecracker Songtext
von Stephan Nance

Blue-, blue-, blue-eyed scruffy fella
Helicopters buzzed against
Our cheeks and ears and necks and
Turned us all around in terms of color
Blushing, queasy, spinning
And irrevocably endearing
Drinking fountains, puppies, penguins, little lambs

Don′t you dare go
Making me like you more
I hate you more and more
Every second I'm with you
Every second you′re making me like you
More and more
I hate you more
I hate you more


Firecrackers have no choice
The fuse gets lit
The voice comes shooting out
In sparks and sparkles
And a minute
Lasts a lifetime
Lasts a heartbeat
Never lasts for sixty seconds
Like it should
And no matter what
It's never long enough
But it's still good

True, true, true, I would
Be your boyfriend if you′d be mine
But this whole situation is becoming so ridiculous
Mr. Potato Heart
Indeed, it seems
You lack a few essential pieces
Would it be taboo for me
To skip-bo right past go
Play operation and connect for good
The clues to cure this sorry state of constant aggravation?


Don′t you dare go
Pushing my love away
If you're gonna just
Pick up the slack and
Pull it right back
In a stupid kind of tug-of-war game
That I don′t wanna play
Unless I'm on your side
In which case
I′ll be with you all the way

Firecrackers have no choice
The fuse gets lit
The voice comes shooting out
In sparks and sparkles
And a minute
Lasts a lifetime
Lasts a heartbeat
Never lasts for sixty seconds
Like it should
And no matter what
It's never long enough

I could go a day without ya
I could go a hundred days
But I′d spread those hundred days
Out over a century
If that's okay with you
Sometimes I get the feeling
I'm just on display
Like some little punk′s been
Pressing against me
Setting me off for a
Pyrotechnicolorful

Don′t you dare go
Don't you dare go
Don′t you dare go
Don't you dare go
Don′t you dare go
Don't you dare go
Setting me off and
Running away
When I′ve got something
I still want to say
Again!

Firecrackers have no choice
The fuse gets lit
The voice comes shooting out
In sparks and sparkles
And a minute
Lasts a lifetime
Lasts a heartbeat
Never lasts for sixty seconds
Like it should
And no matter what
It's never long enough

And no matter what
It's never long enough
But it′s still
So
Oh
Oh
Oh-oh-oh
Good
