dynamite lady

i'd better be leaving

she said then she whispered

they're waiting for me at the fairground tonight

i'll never be back and i'll never be missed

but i leave something here

and that doesn't seem right

all of the time i just travel and travel

am i running away or am i running home

there's a man and a family

somewhere in the suburbs

i forget his name and i can't find the town

boom goes the world of the dynamite lady

making her way with a flash and a bang

boom goes the life of the dynamite lady

picking up the pieces wherever she can

all of my days hang on one fiery moment

a hushing of crowds and a dimming of lights

and i lie curled up like a child in the darkness

i die if its wrong i'm reborn if it's right

boom goes the world of the dynamite lady

making her way with a flash and a bang

boom goes the life of the dynamite lady

picking up the pieces wherever she can

i walk through the clouds and i don't hear the cheers

there's a sound in my head that you almost could see

and the look in their eyes says i might as well live

it was already over before the dust cleared

boom goes the world of the dynamite lady

making her way with a flash and a bang

boom goes the life of the dynamite lady

picking up the pieces wherever she can

making her way with a flash and a bang

picking up the pieces wherever she can
