Bottle Rocket

[Verse]
Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket
Can't you hear him call?
Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket
Short fuse and all

Well, once he's lit you just can't stop it
That ain't his fault
Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket
Destined to fall

Back down to Earth with some big plans
Or he'll blow up in your hands
Or fizzle out and never leave the ground

Well, he lived his life like a rolling thunder
Rumbling along
Well, he lived his life like a rolling thunder
Clappin' to this song

Well, he spits out rain and bolts of lightning
Every time he talks
Well, he lived his life like a rolling thunder
Tremble when he walks

Well, there's no need to hide your head
Leave it tucked between your legs
If he wanted to, he could take us all

(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, now he's gone

Well, he lived his life like a levee breakin'
Water rushing in
Well, he lived his life like a levee breakin'
Fill it to the brim

Well, through that floor that waters risin'
Look for higher ground
Well, he lived his life like a levee breakin'
Swallow up that town

Well, 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, now he's gone

Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket
Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket

Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket
Can't you hear him call?
Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket
Short fuse and all

Well, once he's lit you just can't stop it
That ain't his fault
Well, he lived his life like a bottle rocket
Destined to fall

Back down to Earth with some big plans
Or he'll blow up in your hands
Or fizzle out and never leave the ground

(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)
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)
That bottle rocket's lit and waiting
