Black birds slow and softly breaks a glass of wine
Broken bluesy whisper sing to me tonight
Well, everybody wants to go forever
I just want to burn up hard and bright
I just want to be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight

Lady, your kicks of silence cough into your room
Kiss me slow and softly make me dream of you
Well, everybody wants to go forever
I just want to burn up hard and bright
I just want to be your firecracker
And maybe be your baby tonight
Maybe be your baby tonight

So when does the plane go down
'Cause I'm gonna ride it till it hits the ground
Then go out with a fight
'Cause I just want to be your baby tonight

    To me, this sounds like he wants to have sex with the girl he's talking about. When he says, "Everybody wants to go on forever, I just want wanna burn up hard and bright," I think he's basically saying, he doesn't want a relationship. Just this one night.
