Fireworks

[Verse 1]
They cancelled the fireworks on New Year’s Eve
Somewhere between the burning eyes and the blackened trees
Hose off your roof tell your family to leave, just try to breathe
Come out of retirement and get on the tools
Elvis lives and he’s sucking up your swimming pool
From the 12 days of crisis-wrapped Christmas to April fools

[Pre-Chorus]
The streets are all empty
You’re stuck here at home
The radio’s off it’s too close to the bone
“Just you fucken wait till I get you alone”

[Chorus]
There’s a little piece of heaven for the lucky some
Out of the frying pan and into to the searing sun
The fuse burning down and it’s fireworks for every one

[Verse 2]
From the safest suburbs to the tidiest towns
Hear the blunt force trauma as the sun goes down
From the starter pistol to the golden point try
The neighbours said he seemed like a nice enough guy

[Chorus]
There’s a little piece of hell saved for everyone
Trapped between the locked window and the loaded gun
The fuse burning down and it’s fireworks for everyone
