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
