Manning Fireworks

Lyrics

Birds against a heavy wind that wins in the end One of these days, with shorts full of sand One of these days, you'll kill a man For asking a question you don't understand Some have passion, some have purpose You have sneakin' backstage to hound the girls in the circus You've opened the Bible in a public place You've opened the Bible to the very first page And one of these days, it will all end Your tired approach to original sin [Instrumental Break] You've been betting on horses named "Johnny-Come-Lately" You've been high on the hog, and the dogs seem to hate you You once was a baby, and now a jerk Standing close to the pyre manning fireworks Once a perfect little baby who's now a jerk Standing close to the pyre manning fireworks
