The fanfare of the firefly
Didn't come as much of a surprise to you
'Cause nothing does, and you know it
Oh, you know everything, do I know you?
Where am I gonna get my light from now?
I put a little oil in my lamp
I try to keep it burning, I try to keep it there
Is it all in vain? It's all for naught
Your name is in blue ink across my hand
Where am I gonna get my love from now?
I get down on the ground
Put my pebbles in a mound
I gotta dig a little deeper
To hide these jewels that I found
Among the fossils and the fables
Told to me by my neighbor
Three blocks down when you were able
To make a sound
The sound of the fire engine
The sound of you pouring the gin
I can hear the axe, I can hear the lines
I can taste it on your lips every time
Where am I gonna get my water now?
But your river is running dry
It's a rocky road, it's a little white lie
'Cause if you prove false to me
A bright day, a bright day will turn to night
I get down on the ground
Put my pebbles in a mound
I gotta dig a little deeper
Hide these jewels that I found
Among the fossils and the fables
Told to me by my neighbor
Three blocks down when you were able
To make a sound, make a sound
Look around, put your pebbles in a mound
You gotta dig a little deeper
To find the jewels for my crown
Mmm, you're a rare one
A fine and fair one
What's that sound?
It's just a shovel breaking ground
