We Were A Firework

Sneakers in dust, and we're on the garage roof.
Zero in the pocket, but a sharp thirst in the veins.
You said this city would suffocate us in our sleep,
If we don't run away, if we don't burn up in the fire.
Look how the windows go dark in the panel blocks,
We were brave only in our words.


Tick-tock, time doesn't wait,
The fuse is burning down, it's gonna blow now!
We promised not to become like them,
Grey shadows in the dust!

Припев
We were fireworks in the black sky of January!
Burned brightly, but it seems all for nothing!
One minute of fame, sparks in the eyes,
And then only smoke and an empty shell!
We were fireworks!
WERE FIREWORKS!
Burned to the ground, but how loud it was!


Now you're in an office, I drank myself away or got lost somewhere.
That kid who dreamed, he dissolved long ago.
A photo on the phone where we screamed songs off-key,
That was our only, best boycott in life.
The smell of gunpowder is still somewhere in the nose,
I carry this memory like a cross through the years.


Tick-tock, it's all in the past,
Became so ordinary and vulgar.
But close your eyes for a second,
Remember how we slammed on the brakes!

Припев
We were fireworks in the black sky of January!
Burned brightly, but it seems all for nothing!
One minute of fame, sparks in the eyes,
And then only smoke and an empty shell!
We were fireworks!
WERE FIREWORKS!
Burned to the ground, but how loud it was!

Bright flash.
Loud bang.
And in the morning the street sweeper will sweep us into a dustpan.
But while we were flying...
While we were flying...
WE LIT UP THIS WHOLE DAMN WORLD!



Припев
We were fireworks in the black sky of January!
Burned brightly, and it was NOT FOR NOTHING!
One minute of fame, sparks in the eyes,
Screw the smoke and the empty shell!
We were fireworks!
WERE FIREWORKS!
Burned to the ground, but how it was...

How loud it was.
