Oh light my way my shining firefly
Oh light my way my shining firefly
You know she bought a revolver with her pension fund
When she asked me to join her my face was stunned
"Are you gonna come with me
When the sun goes down?"
We had a love so deep that I thought I'd drown
What I saw through the fog
Was a beautiful cog in the monolithic death machine
As we drop down below
All the mangled rainbows
I can show her just what I mean
So I took her to the south
Where the beast has a mouth
At least his razor sharp teeth are clean
Sometimes I'm afraid to meet the calf of the sacred cow
I'd like to quit the fear porn
But I don't know how
I'll show you some things that are easier done than said
Look up at the stars instead of eating lead
What I saw through the fog
Was a beautiful cog in the monolithic death machine
As we drop down below
All the mangled rainbows
I can show her just what I mean
So I took her to the south
Where the beast has a mouth
At least his razor sharp teeth are clean
You've been living on small talk and cigarettes
Baby I'm not cool but I've no regrets
What I saw through the fog
Was a beautiful cog in the monolithic death machine
As we drop down below
All the mangled rainbows
I can show her just what I mean
So I took her to the south
Where the beast has a mouth
At least his razor sharp teeth are clean
Oh light my way my shining firefly
