Friday night we ditched our glooms
And watched the sparks
Shooting from his arms
A body a-flame a howling wave
Goodbye
And the people’s hopes
Rose with the fire
Saturday we shared happiness
Matching turquoise rings
Signatures stamped in silver
Someone was playing Heart of Gold
And the people’s hopes
Rose with the fire
And the people’s hopes
Rose with the fire
And the people’s hopes
Rose with the fire
