Bottle Rocket - The Weeks

He lived his life like a bottle rocket, can’t you hear him call

He lived his life like a bottle rocket, short fuse and all

Once he’s lit you just can’t stop it, that ain’t his fault

He lived his life like a bottle rocket, destined to fall

Back down to Earth with some big plans

He’ll blow up in your hands

Or fizzle out and never leave the ground

He lived his life like a rolling thunder, rumbling along

He lived his life like a rolling thunder, clappin' to this song

He spits out rain and bolts of lightning, lightning every time

He lived his life like a rolling thunder, tremble when he walks

There’s no need to hide your head

Leave it tucked between your legs

If he wanted to, he could take us all

He lived his life like a levee breakin', water rushing in

He lived his life like a levee breakin', filled to the brim

Through that floor that waters risin', look for higher ground

He lived his life like a levee breakin', swallow up that town

There’s no need to look back

Keep your memories intact

Just follow him and he’ll take you there

Well he’s here

And he’s gone

That bottle rocket’s lit and waiting

Well he’s here

And he’s gone

That rolling thunder keeps on shakin'

Well he’s here

And he’s gone

That levee it was built for breakin'

Well he’s here

And he’s gone
