Fireflies Lyrics by G&E Music

The Tortoise And The Crow

2014

[Verse 1: Eligh]
See the fireflies lead the way on the back roads
Hard to push a man seeking peace to attack mode
Keep a good stroll, looking for a new teacher
All new goals, new shoes and old souls
Confused, sometimes I'm so lost and yet I'm not surprised
'Cause I'm Pisces, almond shaped eyes
Hate fake smiles worse than a broken heart
Work with the fireflies, light my path through the dark
Ready, set, picking out the weeds in the backyard
Put them in the incinerator, walking out the door
Like I never had a better way to get away
A man on fire, bird on a wire, tire to the street, poet to the beat
Young sire walking out the flames
Staring at the fire, checking out the game
I don't want to play, turn the page, rage against the machine
I guess I'm a fiend, I guess I'ma stay
Got to make a better landscape for better or for worse
Married to the mob of underground
Head bobbing never stoppin'
I'ma keep on making the music to get the party poppin'
In the heart, chakra, knock a
Impostor off his rocker when I conquer this mantra
Follow the fireflies in deep where desire lies

[Chorus: Steve Knight]
Fly away, straight up to the sky
Fly away, we all burn then we die
I don't wanna let go tonight
Burn like fireflies, we are alive
Burn like fireflies

[Verse 2: The Grouch]
Say it like I mean it on my mother or I'm outta there
I'm just trying to find my way
I don't need a lot of gear
I just need a God to pray to
Hey you, want to dry my tears?
Threw my pride up in the fire just to make it here
Nothing is sacred til we're faced with pain and numbered days
That heinous hunger for a 100 bill, still a slave
I can feel alive or fill a grave, real afraid
Not that phony fearsome hearsay we all fuckin' hate
Wake and bake, rise and grind, I'm on island time
Don't you see the flash on the ass of that firefly
Passion inspired by intuition and my advice
Conviction, correction
End up fixin' a liar's life
No bitches on my hitches
Now watch how these tires ride
Boy, I'm too ambitious ain't gon' stop for no type of power
Keep watch from the highest tower
Rock til the final hour
Thoughts kinda primal, let out like a lion roar
Doing more, trying more
I am more, Iron your iron-on's peeling off
Phasing out like a dinosaur

[Chorus: Steve Knight]
Fly away, straight up to the sky
Fly away, we all burn then we die
I don't wanna let go tonight
Burn like fireflies, we are alive
Burn like fireflies

[Eligh]
Shooting stars streak in the night skies
Speaking to us in tongue's only we can hear
Fear gets broken like flower pots
No longer capable of holding back the roots
From reaching deep into the earth's crust
Trust for the fireflies increased as velocity reaches speed of light

[The Grouch]
Light bodies led by the source of all things
Indescribable by words, the song that God sings
Flames lit for eternity
Flickr and dance from up under me
To the sky, to the sun, to the moon and to the sea

[Outro: Steve Knight]
