I  was a sailboat, I  was a sailor
I  was a sign  of our goin'  or our comin'
I  made it happen, down  in the schoolyard
I  was a firecracker exploding
Hallelujah!  The sparks  flew up to heaven
 They saw  my smile  and I was laughin'  so hard
Hallelujah!  The sparks  flew up to heaven
 And I left  the sober  people with their cold hearts
Sometimes  there is someone, someone  who knows  you
But  when you are sad  there is no one
We're  on a red bicycle, rollin'  and rollin'
I'm  quicksilver, I'm a dealmaker,  don't you cross  me once
Hallelujah!  The sparks  flew up to heaven
 They saw  my smile  and I was laughin'  so hard
Hallelujah!  The sparks  flew up to heaven
 And I left  the sober  people with their cold hearts
Nothin'  can hold  me to  this earth that don’t own  me
And  I don't know  if I'm dirty  or clean
Well  I was a sailboat, I  was a sailor
And  I was a firecracker exploding
And  o! why  do you cry,  sister, cry?
I've  been talkin' with the angels  and it's gonna  be fine
Hallelujah!  The sparks  flew up to heaven
 And I left  the sober  people with their cold hearts
 End on
