Hold your box of matches tight
Keep the firelighters bright
Let it burn and let it feel alright
Share our bruises in the glow
Let the firefighters know
We just want to sit and watch the show
We just want the fire in our bones
We got this one licked
Be ready when I say go
Buy me at night she said
Worms are always underfed
Daylight never seems to wait for me
Share disguises in the dark
Tell the tiger he’s a shark
We don’t ever want to be apart
We just killed the fear in our hearts
We got this one licked
Be ready when I say go
Feed us something we can tolerate
Give us something we can taste
Give us time so we can hibernate
Make the waiting worth the wait
I told you we’d grow up to be the soldiers
When everyone gets a little older
It’s just a feeling that you want to never remember
We got this one licked
Br ready when I say go
