Private Explosions

Private explosions, who knows where or where 
you and your loved one give each other a scare 
when the love and the anger are too much to bear 
private explosions, filling the air 

Nursing unacted desires 
fanning your favorite fires 
in the midst of your wild rumpus 
there appears a moral compass 

anger truly inspires 
sends a shock along the wires 
when the scream comes from your spirit 
your flesh and bones are sure to hear it 

Private explosions, who knows when or where 
you and your loved one whenever you dare 
see through the flash, see through the glare 
private explosions, filling the air 

Temperance has its place 
in the quiet look on your face 
can you see things just as clear 
when the wild things are here

 

Private explosions, who knows when or where 
you and your loved one give each other a scare 
there's more than one way to show that you care 
private explosions filling the air 

Love is as love does 
and love's all the rage 
a private explosion and 
we're out of the cage 

Private explosions, who knows when or where 
you and your loved one, whenever you dare 
see through the flash, see through the glare 
private explosions, filling the air 

On the whole, on the whole 
we're out of control 
by the sea, by the sea 
the beautiful sea 
a private explosion 
between you and me
