Thanks for including me. This is fun. I like it!

Just like you wanted, 
You know you wanted
Me caught in your web
Mesmerized and hypnotized,
Blind sided,
Just like you wanted.

All the sand was gold,
Or so I’ve been told,
I never saw the waves,
Just the wine in your gaze.

Just like you wanted, 
You know you wanted
Me caught in your web
Mesmerized and hypnotized,
Blind sided,
Just like you wanted.

Cabin by the lake,
I was your chocolate cake,
Winter arrived and we
Were shoved in a deep freeze.

Just like you wanted, 
You know you wanted
Me caught in your web
Mesmerized and hypnotized,
Blind sided,
Just like you wanted.

I thought I’d knit you sweaters,
You liked t-shirts better,
I bought a bright red dress
But wore black instead.

Just like you wanted, 
You know you wanted
Me caught in your web
Mesmerized and hypnotized,
Blind sided,
Just like you wanted.

And now that it’s ended,
And I’ve been de-friended,
You said you’d lost that feeling,
I’m left here reeling.

Just like you wanted, 
You know you wanted
Me caught in your web
Mesmerized and hypnotized,
Blind sided,
Just like you wanted.

You got what you wanted
Just like you wanted.

PROGRAM NOTES
Growing up, one of my favorite pastimes was setting off firecrackers with friends. We knew our parents wouldn't approve and would punish us if they found out—which made it all the more exciting—so we would meet in a secluded neighborhood alley. We had all sorts of firecrackers with crazy sounding names like Thunder Bombs, Crrackfires, Cherry Bombs, Sonic Booms, and so on, not to mention bottle rockets.

Setting off firecrackers made us feel empowered. We were literally playing with fire and knew we were doing something dangerous—after all, we could lose a finger, or even an eye—but it was exciting all the same. We would purchase fireworks from shops across the Canadian border where they were legal. Or, more accurately, we would find teenagers with cars and a penchant for mischief; they had quite a racket selling fireworks on the sly to younger kids in the neighborhood.

Part of the fun in creating Firecracker Alley was figuring out which effects sound firecracker-like. Of course, I call for multiple slapsticks, but there are also loud drums, rim shots, whistles, lines in the winds that are reminiscent of bottle rockets. Through it all, there are fanfare-like brass passages that capture the excitement and joy of setting off firecrackers.
