Firecracker People Songtext
von Hotel Lights

There′s no little bird to set free
Or play a part in what's meant to be
I control what my heart thinks
Or is it just like gunpowder

No one is listening
Just taking what they′re given
That will never be me

We're all firecracker people
Going off all the time
The empire keeps pulling
Beautiful spark out of time

Look how the sun shines for me
I have a mind for industry
I need another with big dreams
Louis Vuitton and Mercedes
I'm out for the finer things

And the city lights keep pulling
I′m standing still and moving
And the tubes are glowing


We′re all firecracker people
Going off all the time
Everywhere I go you'll be
Beautiful spark out of time

What does love have to offer me
I don′t think I believe
Could there be someone who'll inspire me
Or is it just a dream I dream
Who′s gonna prove it different
When everyone's pretending

And the research is showing

We′re all firecracker people
Going off all the time
The empire keeps pulling
Beautiful spark out of time

Will you ever notice me
Will my heart remain incomplete
You're the driftwood on the sea
Maybe in time you'll learn to see
Oh, I believe
Like a fuse slowly burning
You′re miles away on Method Beach
I am here patiently


We′re all firecracker people
Going off all the time
Everywhere I go you'll be
Beautiful spark out of time

We′re all firecracker people
Every thought I'll ever know
You′re the only thing that I see
Beautiful spark out of time
