Roman Candle - The Crookes

Please don’t live the same year eighty times

Lord knows that if you do you can’t ever call that a life

It’s true my darling, I love watching TV in your tiny room

But I swear there must be so much more

Stepping out your door

The days’ll run away

So let’s go up in flames

Hey!

It’s obscene, when I was seventeen I had no wisdom teeth

They say «just be yourself» like that’s an easy thing to be

No you don’t need a boyfriend now, oh honey pie, oh girl

I’ll show you the world

Here’s another photo staring back at me

The days’ll run away

Maybe this time tomorrow

I’ll have something to say

These days’ll run away

Burning like a Roman Candle

And we’ll go up in flames

Fireworks and new skies

Explode anti-clockwise from the past

There’s no use in looking back

But I could tell you a story

I’m dying for glory, don’t want fame

Just wanna burn, go up in flames

The days’ll run away

Maybe this time tomorrow

I’ll have something to say

Yeah the days’ll run away

Burning like a Roman Candle

So let’s go up in flames

The days’ll run away

Burning like a Roman Candle

Let’s go up, up, up in flames

These days’ll run away

Take my hand, oh!

Come on darling

Come on let’s be brave
