Firecracker

Verse 1

She’s got the fuse and she’s ready to light,

Burning a hole through the middle of the night.

A short-circuit spark in a leather dress,

Leaving the city in a beautiful mess.

Chorus

She’s a firecracker, yeah, she’s gonna pop,

Once she gets started, she’s never gonna stop.

Heat in the kitchen and smoke in the hall,

Watch out, honey, she’s hitting the wall.

Verse 2

Red hot rhythm and a dangerous sound,

Shaking the rafters and breaking the ground.

A little bit of powder and a whole lot of bang,

The sweetest vibration that I ever sang.

Verse 3

We hit the border in a stolen car,

She’s the brightest thing I’ve seen by far.

She kicked the jukebox and she started a fight,

Dynamite lady in the pale moonlight.

Chorus

She’s a firecracker, yeah, she’s gonna pop,

Once she gets started, she’s never gonna stop.

Heat in the kitchen and smoke in the hall,

Watch out, honey, she’s hitting the wall.

Bridge

Count it down now—three, two, one,

She’s more fun than a loaded gun.

Ticking like a clock in the midnight sun,

Once she goes off, the race is run.

Verse 4

We're dancing on the edge of a jagged blade,

The best mistake that I ever made.

She blew the circuit at the midnight show,

Nowhere to hide and nowhere to go.

Chorus

She’s a firecracker, yeah, she’s gonna pop,

Once she gets started, she’s never gonna stop.

Heat in the kitchen and smoke in the hall,

Watch out, honey, she’s hitting the wall.

Outro

She’s explosive, baby!

Ready to blow!

Yeah, she’s ready to go!

Firecracker!
