Dynamite Lady

I’d better be leaving

She said then she whispered

They’re waiting for me at the fairground tonight

I’ll never be back and I’ll never be missed

But I leave something here

And that doesn’t seem right

All of the time I just travel and travel

Am I running away or am I running home

There’s a man and a family

Somewhere in the suburbs

I forget his name and I can’t find the town

Boom goes the world of the dynamite lady

Making her way with a flash and a bang

Boom goes the life of the dynamite lady

Picking up the pieces wherever she can

All of my days hang on one fiery moment

A hushing of crowds and a dimming of lights

And I lie curled up like a child in the darkness

I die if its wrong I’m reborn if it’s right

Boom goes the world of the dynamite lady

Making her way with a flash and a bang

Boom goes the life of the dynamite lady

Picking up the pieces wherever she can

I walk through the clouds and I don’t hear the cheers

There’s a sound in my head that you almost could see

And the look in their eyes says I might as well live

It was already over before the dust cleared

Boom goes the world of the dynamite lady

Making her way with a flash and a bang

Boom goes the life of the dynamite lady

Picking up the pieces wherever she can (repeat 3)

Making her way with a flash and a bang

Picking up the pieces wherever she can
