Fire Engine Lyrics by Aoife O’Donovan

Fossils

0

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
