Fire Engine

Fanfare of the firefly

Didn't come as much of a surprise to you

"Cause nothing does, you know it all

You know everything, do I know you?

Am I gonna get my light from there?

Put a little oil in my lamp

I try to keep it burning, I try to keep a man

It's all in vain, it's all for naught

Your name is in blue ink across my hand

Am I gonna get my love from there?

Look down on the ground

Put my pebbles in a mound

Gotta dig a little deeper

To hide these jewels that I found

Among the fossils in the fables

Told to me by my neighbor

Three blocks down

When we were able to make a sound

The sound of the fire engine

The sight of you pouring the gin

I can hear the axe, I can hear the lines

I can taste it on your lips every time

Am I gonna get my water now?

This river is a running dry

It's a rocky road, it's a little white lie

'Cause if you blew false to me

Bright day, bright day, turned to night

I get down on the ground

With my pebbles in a mound

I gotta dig a little deeper

To hide these jewels that I found

Among the fossils in the fables

Told to me by my neighbor

Three blocks down

When you were able to make a sound

A sound

Look around

Put your pebbles in a mound

Gotta dig a little deeper

To find the jewels from a crown

Mmm you're a rare one, a fine and fair one

What's that sound?

It's just a shovel breaking ground
