Fireworks Lyrics

    If there's a goal that everyone remembers, it was back in ol' 72
    We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger
    And all I remember is sitting beside you
    You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey
    And I never saw someone say that before
    You held my hand and we walked home the long way
    You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr

    Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished
    When the little sensation gets in your way
    Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
    Isn't it amazing you can do anything

    We hung out together every single moment
    Cause that's what we thought married people do
    Complete with the grip of artificial chaos
    And believe in the country of me and you
    Crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin
    And yeah, we'd heard all that before
    It's wintertime, the house is solitude with options
    And loosening the grip on a fake cold war

    Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished
    When the little sensation gets in your way
    Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
    Isn't it amazing you can do anything

    Next to your comrades in the national fitness program
    Caught in some eternal flexed arm hang
    Droppin' to the mat in a fit of laughter
    Showed no patience, tolerance or restraint

    Fireworks exploding in the distance
    Temporary towers soar
    Fireworks emulatin' heaven
    Til there are no stars anymore
    Fireworks aiming straight at heaven
    Temporary towers soar
    Til there are no stars shining up in heaven
    Til there are no stars anymore

    Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished
    When the little sensation gets in your way
    Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder
    Isn't it amazing you can do anything

    This one thing probably never goes away
    I think this one thing is always supposed to stay
    This one thing doesn't have to go away
