Lyrics

Roman Candle

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Rev your engines

Cross your hearts

We're sailing off to mars

We're the travelers from afar

Pass cast aways on ship wrecks stars

Dark in empty bars

We're light years on this cruise

You wait half your life for a brand new start

You learned your lines, you end your part

You're all battered up and bruised

You always had a roman candle for a heart

Now you gotta firm grip on things for a start

I suppose that's a part of growing old

Oh oh growing old

Ba da ba ba ba ba baa

Ba ba ba da ba

Ba da ba ba ba da ba

Oooh

You always had a roman candle for a heart

Now you gotta firm grip on things for a start

I suppose that's a part of growing old

Oh oh growing old

You rickashayed then you marooned

A spaceship on the moon

You left town with a sonic boom

But gravity pulled you back home

Down to earth and all alone

You cast victory over stones

Soon you mellowed soon you broke

With a softer voice you spoke:

Progress beyond reproach

You always had a roman candle for a heart

Now you gotta firm grip on things for a start

I suppose that's a part of growing old

Oh oh growing old

You always had a roman candle for a heart

Now you gotta firm grip on things for a start

I suppose that's a part of growing old

Oh oh growing old

Oooh
