Lyrics
"Fireworks Over Ithaca" Words and music by Andy Germak Copyright 2000 Andy Germak Seven hours down a country road Monticello bus stop Sarah rolls a joint Asks me if I wanna take a hit Never been a smoker She says, "what the hell" Tonight, tonight Fireworks fell all over Ithaca And I laid on my back a while Tryin' to salvage color through the smoke Broke a window with a yellow stone Friday morning kitchen Thought I'd take a walk Met a gun-man on a gravel trail Tried to fake an accent He yelled, "run on home" Tonight, tonight Fireworks fell all over Ithaca And I laid on my back a while Tryin' to salvage color through the smoke Naked knees Tangled trees They say the finger lakes Connect somehow I'd rather ride the waves Right here in Coney Island Seven hours in a big glass box Sarah's on her cell phone Spillin' out her life Maybe next year I'll just stay in bed Go and visit Sarah She lives right up my block Tonight, tonight Fireworks fell all over Ithaca And I laid on my back a while Tryin' to salvage color Tonight, tonight Fireworks fell all over Ithaca And I laid on my back a while Tryin' to salvage color through the smoke
