Firecracker
Blue-, blue-, blue-eyedScruffy fellaHelicopters buzzed againstOur cheeks and ears and necks andTurned us all aroundIn terms of color:Blushing, queasy, spinningAnd irrevocably endearingDrinking fountains, puppies, penguins,Little lambs
Don't you dare goMaking me like you more;I hate you more and moreEvery second I'm with you;Every second you're making me like youMore and more,I hate you moreI hate you more.Firecrackers have no choice:The fuse gets lit,The voice comes shooting outIn sparks and sparklesAnd a minuteLasts a lifetime,SongtexteLasts a heartbeat,Never lasts for sixty secondsLike it shouldAnd no matter whatIt's never long enoughBut it's still good.True, true, true, I wouldBe your boyfriendIf you'd be mine,But this whole situation isBecoming so ridiculousMr. Potato HeartIndeed, it seemsYou lack a few essential pieces;Would it be taboo for meTo skip-bo right past go,Play operation and connect for goodThe clues to cure this sorry state ofConstant aggravation?Don't you dare goPushing my love awayIf you're gonna justPick up the slack andPull it right backIn a stupid kind of tug-of-war gameThat I don't wanna playUnless I'm on your side,In which caseI'll be with you all the way.Firecrackers have no choice:The fuse gets lit,The voice comes shooting outIn sparks and sparklesAnd a minuteLasts a lifetime,Lasts a heartbeat,Never lasts for sixty secondsLike it shouldAnd no matter whatIt's never long enoughI could go a day without youI could go a hundred daysBut I'd spread those hundred daysOut over a centuryIf that's okay with youSometimes I get the feelingI'm just on displayLike some little punk's beenPressing against me,Setting me off for aPyrotechnicolorfulDon't you dare goDon't you dare goDon't you dare goDon't you dare goDon't you dare goDon't you dare goSetting me off andRunning awayWhen I've got somethingI still want to say
Again!Firecrackers have no choice:The fuse gets lit,The voice comes shooting outIn sparks and sparklesAnd a minuteLasts a lifetime,Lasts a heartbeat,Never lasts for sixty secondsLike it shouldAnd no matter whatIt's never long enoughAnd no matter whatIt's never long enoughBut it's still sooh oh oh-oh-ohgood!
