Charlie Fink - Firecracker lyrics

Artist: Charlie Fink

album: Cover My Tracks


Being told you're no good
At a job that you hate
Belongs in a special part of hell
It was a feeling I knew
More than I wanted to
Working at a Manchester business hotel
Rushing a plate to room 108
On New Years Eve, 2005
I gave two short knocks
And you opened up
Not your standard business hotel type
But sometimes your future is waiting for you
Behind a hotel room door
I'd spent 20 years not living my life
And that wasn't my life anymore

I saw your guitar case, asked if you play
You said, "No, that's where I keep my machine gun."
I used to tour with a banjo
But ever since I switched
Nobody ever asks for a refund
You sign for the tray, lean in to say
"Hey, where you goin'? Do you smoke?"
I couldn't believe
This was happening to me
When you pulled out a joint from your coat
But sometimes your future is offered to you
Rolled up in a cigarette
I'd spent 20 years not living my life
Right 'til that moment we met
And it was like a firecracker
Watched from a prison yard
Sitting in that hotel bedroom
Listening to you play guitar
Oh, it was like a firecracker
Oh, it was like a firecracker
