Firecracker People

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

an eye for the finer things

the city light 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 the 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, i'm the sea

maybe in time you'll learn to see

oh, i believe

like a fuse burning slowly

you're miles away, i'm within reach

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
