Steel Train - Firecracker lyrics

rate me

Firecracker, you waved in the night

And something that i saw was flaming

Your body, it was real in the light

On the fourth of july we were screaming

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...

Well Im back in my old town again

Is there something still alive that i left here

Do you still like the boys on the street?

I will take you uptown to see you meet them

You know I've been reading the bible for a change

Maybe there's something i had missed there

I've seen some eyes in the rain

And they creep at my mind, i saw you whisper

A firecracker, you waved in the night

Something that i saw was flaming

Do you feel like we left something here?

Something worth coming back and clamming

I saw the lonely road

You left and said to me don't follow

Cause ill only bring you sorrow

And on down my lonely road

You left and said to me don't follow

You sleep and dream for tomorrow

And in the dead on night

You left and said to me don't follow

Cause ill only bring you sorrow
