there's no little bird to set free   or play a part in what's meant to be   i control what my heart thinks   or is it just like gunpowder      no one is listening   just taking what they're given   that will never be me      we're all firecracker people   going off all the time   the empire keeps pulling   beautiful spark out of time      look how the sun shines for me   i have a mind for industry   i need another with big dreams   louis vuitton and mercedes   an eye for the finer things      the city light keep pulling   i'm standing still and moving   and the tubes are glowing      we're all firecracker people   going off all the time   everywhere i go, you'll be   beautiful spark out of time       what does love have to offer me   i don't think i believe   could there be someone who'll inspire me   or is it just the dream i dream      who's gonna prove it different   when everyone's pretending   and the research is showing      we're all firecracker people   going off all the time   the empire keeps pulling    beautiful spark out of time      will you ever notice me   will my heart remain incomplete   you're the driftwood, i'm the sea   maybe in time you'll learn to see   oh, i believe      like a fuse burning slowly   you're miles away, i'm within reach   i am here patiently      we're all firecracker people   going off all the time   everywhere i go, you'll be   beautiful spark out of time      we're all firecracker people   every thought i'll ever know   you're the only thing that i see   beautiful spark out of time
