fireflies take flight
Oh beware of bleeding lung And bugs that eat their young The demons in your head The wolves under your bead  The bones of dinosaurs  Hidden below the floors They rattle and they shake And make the sound that  Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight  The sandman you must trust He sprinkles golden dust The howling of the owl Makes me sleepwalk on clouds  A thousand pianos play I still hear them the next day A barrel full of snakes  They make the sound that  Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly Fireflies take flight  The thorn that stays so firmly in  my side These fireflies leave me behind  The bones of dinosaurs Hidden below the floors They rattle and they shake And make the sound that  Wakes me up most every night  Breaks me softly  Fireflies Wakes me up most every night Breaks me softly  Fireflies take flight
