Lyrics Siouxsie and the Banshees

Siouxsie and the Banshees

Fireworks

The body is wrapped in shadow

The face is built of cinders

And panic tears thro' your silhouette

As you're squeezed by burning fingers

And he crackling in our colours

With teeth of gelignite

When he sighs his song and pirouettes

Thro' a dance of dynamite

We are fireworks - slowly, glowing

Bold and bright

We are fireworks - burning shapes

Into the night

His fuel is our frustration

And dreams begin to ache

And all the while we wear a party smile

And happily we shiver

And happily we shake

Oh shake, shake, shake

We are fireworks - slowly, glowing

Bold and bright

We are fireworks - burning shapes

Into the night

Twist and turn - burn, burn, burn

Twist and turn - burn, baby, burn
