Firecracker, you waved in the nightnAnd something that I saw was flamingnYour body, it was real in the lightnOn the fourth of July we were screamingnnWell I saw the lonely roadnYou left and said to me don't follownCause I'll only bring you sorrownAnd on down my lonely roadnYou left and I just said - no, no, no, no, no...nnWell I'm back in my old town againnIs there something still alive that I left herenDo you still like the boys on the street?nI will take you uptown just to see you meet themnnYou know I've been reading the Bible for a changenMaybe there's something I had missed therenI've seen some eyes in the rainnAnd they creep at my mind, and I saw you whispernnA firecracker, you waved in the nightnSomething that I saw was flamingnDo you feel like we left something here?nSomething worth coming back and claimingnnI saw the lonely roadnYou left and said to me don't follow n'Cause I'll only bring you sorrownAnd on down my lonely roadnYou left and said to me don't follownYou sleep and dream for tomorrownAnd in the dead on nightnYou left and said to me don't follown'Cause I'll only bring you sorrow
