INTRO: Riff1 (slow, and speed it up)
Riff1
I pulled my firecrackers from the shelf
Displayed an image of a rockets glare
A desperate flare from my sinking boat
I gathered matches and a fist of hope
Riff1
A mesa and an Arizona sky
Yielded a bottle from a drunk cowboy
I found a piece of paper and some twine
Held my breath and I let it fly
D C A
High, up to you
D C A
Fire, break the blue
Riff1
Another beggar's independence day
Burning powder to the other side
A field of flowers for the milky way
Emancipation plea shot to the sky
High, up to you
Fire, break the blue
Riff1 (play around with it)
Just a firecracker in the sky
Another bottle rocket in your eye
