When we leave, I go into our roomnAnd lay me down on birds of paradisenIt's pretty womanly in here!nRoses noting every movenNothing goes on except what shouldnA vast legacy of goodnAnd I don't know if I can uphold it on my ownnI don't know if I can uphold it on my ownnI don't know if I'm to be trustednIn our roomnAlonennA man needs a woman or a man to be a mannA man needs a woman or a man to be a mannnThe light is explicit between nine and noonnThe light shows a life to things thought deadnLIke oaken legs and fireworks beneath the bednFireworks are wasted in the daynI set 'em off anywaynTo pass the time 'til you returnnI can't see a thing 'til you returnnMaybe a little smoke 'til you returnnWith fireworksnMore fireworks!nWith fireworksnMore fireworks!nAnd you tell me to waitnJust wait, waitnJust waitnnA man needs a woman or a man to be a mannA man needs a woman or a man to be a mannnAnd when it's good and dark, the sky a wet blacknLike earth has turned, you say OKnNow is time, OK, like earth has turnednAbove us explode a golden lion dripping rednA blue bear spitting whitenA spider of fire on a web of sparksnA green dragon with spiralled eyesnFireworks light the waynFireworks light the waynFireworks light the waynFireworks light the waynnBefore us lie many a nightnBefore us lie fireworks in boxesnBut only in you, deep in younOnly in you, deep in younIs the fire that lights themnnA man needs a woman or a man to be a mannA man needs a woman or a man to be a mann
