Firefly Lyrics by Nicholas Niespodziani

Nespo Johnny Live @ Eddie’s Attic 11.8.09

[Spoken: Niespodziani]
I'm setting a good example by wearing sunglasses so nobody can see my eyes. Any questions yet? No
[Spoken: Audience 1]
Why'd you wear sunglasses? I wasn't here earlier
[Spoken: Niespodziani]
Because my eyes are like laser beams. It's like the Fantastic...wait, no, it's the X-Men. I don't mean to mix up my sci-fi, especially not in front of Clay
[Spoken: Audience 2]
Hey, where do you buy your shirts?
[Spoken: Niespodziani]
I can't tell you where I buy my shirt. I never tell anyone where I buy my shirts. Never mind the kazoo that's in my harmonica holder right now. It's none of your concern. Actually, I'm gonna play a song; it's a song from our, um, most recent record, & this, this is a children's song, which is why I'm drinking water before it instead of whiskey. And, um, so yeah, play it for your kids. It goes a little something like this...I always wanted to do the thing where you play by yourself & you count yourself off, even though there's no one else that needs to know when the song starts. So I'm gonna do that right now: 1, 2, 3, 4....
[Verse 1]
Firefly
I never tried to take you very far
'Cause when I tried to put you in a jar
You lost your glow, oh no
But, firefly
Now it's warming up again and you've come back
And every single lightning strike's a sneak attack
And you're burned in my heart
[Chorus]
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
[Verse 2]
It was a young mistake
To fall for something shiny even though it's fake
Blinded like a flashback & the chance you take
When you're playing with fire
Firefly
Don't forget you're not the only light in the sky
There's a time for darkness and a time to shine
But now it's time to fly
[Chorus]
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
[Bridge]
When you're dark, it's tough to see you
And when you're caught, it's tough to free you
Because you never get too high off the ground
But I'm learning to pursue you
You might be bright, but I can see right through you
To your heart and the light that you've found
[Interlude - Kazoo solo]
[Verse 3]
Firefly
I remember you in summers past
But you always came and left so fast
That I missed you before you were gone
So, firefly
Now I've captured you here in my song
And just like dusk I know it won't be long
Until you're burned in my heart
[Chorus]
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
Oh my, firefly, I wish I could light up like you
