This song is the only one whose lyrics were written entirely by BÖC member Albert Bouchard, who normally focused on writing the music half of a given song. It’s “a tender love song” about a girl he was dating, and how they shared in her first orgasm.
This song ostensibly was endorsed by The Boss hi...
Fireworks Lyrics
[Verse 1: Albert Bouchard]
She went down to her house by the water
To hide herself from his grasp
He went down to the water to find her
To consummate their love at last
[Chorus: Albert Bouchard]
Then the lightning flashing (lightning flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head (in her head)
The Earth was shaking (Earth shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head (on her head)
Only sound she heard was (sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm (anointed)
Blazing red!
[Verse 2: Albert Bouchard]
She went down to escape from her prison
To free herself from her fear
All those years up to here with tradition
And opportunity so near
[Chorus: Albert Bouchard]
Then the lightning flashing (lightning flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head (in her head)
The Earth was shaking (Earth shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head (on her head)
Only sound she heard was (sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm (anointed)
Blazing red!
[Verse 3: Albert Bouchard]
She went down on a snow white pillow
To cast herself in the looking glass
He knew the time had finally come now
To break the spell they shared at last
[Chorus: Albert Bouchard]
Then the lightning flashing (lightning flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head (in her head)
The Earth was shaking (Earth shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head (on her head)
Only sound she heard was (sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm (anointed)
Then the lightning flashing (lightning flashing, crashing)
Fireworks shooting off in her head (in her head)
The Earth was shaking (Earth shaking, quaking)
Fireworks pouring down on her head (on her head)
Only sound she heard was (sound, lovely word)
Fireworks like a charm (anointed)

What did Blue Öyster Cult say about "Fireworks"?
The only lyric I ever wrote on a Blue Öyster Cult record by myself was “Fireworks.” I wrote that about a girl I was going with. It was a tender love song, basically. She’d kill me if she heard me saying this, but she had never had an orgasm, so this was the story of her having an orgasm for the firs...
