Big Country - Dynamite Lady Lyrics

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 [x3]

Making her way with a flash and a bang
Picking up the pieces wherever she can
