♪♫Fireworks Lyrics♫♪

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
