Firebomb

words and music by Erik Brandon

I'll start a riot of unending happiness
You make a fistfight of pleasure from scratch
I'll make a weapon of mass satisfaction
If you bring the gasoline, I'll bring the matchmaker's
List of warnings
Love is napalm in the morning

I'll send a party to go out on recon
You send out invites and plan our attack
Taking up arms in a fit of euphoria
Once we get started we can't take it back
And I know they're waiting

We'll throw a firebomb of love at a crowd
full of cynics all ready to fight
And watch the fire melt their cold empty hearts
In a city that needs us
A city that needs us tonight

I tried to say something right as we started
You shut me out when you hung up the phone
Nuclear warheads of love and affection
Won't change the fact that I'm here all alone
With an unsigned treaty
Don't be greedy

I'll start a riot of unending happiness
You make a fistfight of pleasure from scratch
I'll make a weapon of mass satisfaction
You be gasoline, I'll be the match
And I know they're waiting

I'll throw a firebomb of love at a girl full of meanness
All ready to fight
And watch the fire burn the bridges between us
To ashes and laugh as
The firetrucks pull out of sight.
