Memorize the Dictionary - Sparks Lyrics

It sparks
Making a fire
It lights, getting by you
There's nothing you can do now
Standing in the dark with a smoke detector
Waiting for the call to come

Girls and boys
Men and children
Let's walk into the dark
Throw away all the good times
Follow the sparks

I knew you well once
Not anymore
We've got our kids in pieces
There's no one to be scared for
Curled up in a sweaty ball
In a sad, euphoric state
Where you're perfectly at peace

By the lakeside
The water lifts up
Forming a slab of clear blue air
For once I'll be the bad guy
For once I'll take the blame
Wait for the sparks
To kindle the flame

Girls and boys
Men and children
Let's walk into the dark
Throw away all the good times
Follow the sparks

You rip it up but keep the pieces
Late in the evening haze
Draw back the curtain
Look behind the stage
Wavy mirages, skewed and distorting
A beautiful fledgling with a lopsided wing

Girls and boys
Men and children
Let's walk into the dark
Throw away all the good times
Follow the sparks
