Fireworks Lyrics - Tragically Hip

If there's a goal that everyone remembers 

It was back in old seventy two 

We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger 

And all I remember is sitting beside you 

You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey 

And I never saw someone say that before 

You held my hand and we walked home the long way 

You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr 

Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished 

When the little sensation gets in your way 

Not one ambition whispering over your shoulder 

Isn't it amazing you can do anything

We hung out together every single moment 

'Cause that's what we thought married people do 

Complete with the grip of artificial chaos 

And believing in the country of me and you 

Crisis of faith and crisis in the Kremlin 

And, yeah, we'd heard all that before 

It's wintertime, the house is solitude with options 

And loosening the grip on a fake cold war 

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish 

When you don't let the nation get in your way 

And not one ambition whispering over your shoulder 

Isn't it amazing you can do anything 

Next to your comrades in the National Fitness Program 

Caught in some eternal flexed arm hang 

Dropping to the mat in a fit of laughter 

Showed no patience, tolerance or restraint

Fireworks exploding in the distance 

Temporary towers soar 

Fireworks emulating heaven 

Till there are no stars any more 

Fireworks aiming straight at heaven 

Temporary towers soar 

Till there are no stars shining up in heaven 

Till there are no stars any more 

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish 

When the little sensation gets in your way 

No ambition whispering over your shoulder 

Isn't it amazing what you can accomplish 

This one thing probably never goes away 

I think this one thing is always supposed to stay 

This one thing doesn't have to go away
