Firecracker
You waved in the night
And something that I saw was a flaming
Your body
It was real in the light
On the 4th of July
We were screaming
Well 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, no, no, no, no
All I said no, no, no, no, no
Well I'm back in
My old town again
Is there something still alive
That I left here
Do you still lie
Those boys on the street
I will take you uptown
Just to see you meet them
Well 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, no, no, no, no
All I said
No, no, no, no, no
All I said
No, no, no, no, no

You know I've been reading the Bible for a change
Maybe there's something I have missed there
I said I've seen, but I've seen some eyes in the rain
And they creep out my mind and I saw you whisper
Well, firecracker, you waved in the night
And something that I saw was aflame in you
Do you feel like we left something here?
Something worth coming back and claiming
Well, I saw the lonely road
You left and said to me, go follow
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow
And on down my lonely road
You left and said to me, go follow
You sleep and dream for tomorrow
Counting the dead of night
You left and said to me, go follow
Cause I'll only bring you sorrow
And on down my lonely road
You left and I just said no, no, no, no, no
Well, I said no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
