Fireworks - 12" Version
The body is wrapped in shadow
The face is built of cinders
And panic tears through your silhouette
As you're squeezed by burning fingers
And he's crackling in all colours
With teeth of gelignite
When he sighs his song and pirouettes
Through a dance of dynamite
We are fireworks, slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks, burning shapes
Into the night
Into the night
His fuel is our frustration
And dreams begin to ache
But all the while we wear a party smile
And happily we shiver
Happily we shake
Oh, shake, shake, shake
We are fireworks, just slowly glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks, burning shapes
Into the night
We are fireworks
Twist and turn, burn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, baby, burn
We are fireworks
We are fireworks
Burn, burn
Burn, burn, fireworks
Burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, burn, burn
Fireworks, burn, burn
Burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn...
Twist and turn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, baby, burn
Fireworks, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn...
The face is built of cinders
And panic tears through your silhouette
As you're squeezed by burning fingers
And he's crackling in all colours
With teeth of gelignite
When he sighs his song and pirouettes
Through a dance of dynamite
We are fireworks, slowly, glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks, burning shapes
Into the night
Into the night
His fuel is our frustration
And dreams begin to ache
But all the while we wear a party smile
And happily we shiver
Happily we shake
Oh, shake, shake, shake
We are fireworks, just slowly glowing
Bold and bright
We are fireworks, burning shapes
Into the night
We are fireworks
Twist and turn, burn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, baby, burn
We are fireworks
We are fireworks
Burn, burn
Burn, burn, fireworks
Burn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, burn, burn
Fireworks, burn, burn
Burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn...
Twist and turn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, baby, burn
Fireworks, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn
Twist and turn, burn, burn
Burn, burn, burn...
