The Elected - Fireflies In A Steel Mill lyrics
Your rating:
She ran hard And her feet felt nothin' A giant river twistin' to the top of the hill And fell down hard And man, it hurt And bruised her body On the rocks and the dirt See to her this just feels weird, and very very very sad But she won't cry She won't laugh She'll come home baby, if you take it all back If you take it all back And it was hard When he told her Those ideas that never get finished Well, that's what we are We're like the places You just never see You'd read about them, you know you'd love 'em That's how you fell in love with me And to him that just seems weird And very, very, very sad But don't cry Don't laugh Would you come home baby, if I take it all back? 'Cause I can take it all back And I've heard that we can be fulfilled, Like fireflies in a steel mill We got fresh, pressed, linens on the floor But the landlord's at the door, Saying, your check's signed in a disappearing ink Your gold has broken all my teeth, And this past Christmas, the air was too dry, We set fire to the wreath But we were warm and dry beneath This is the last time you'll do this to me And oh, oh, oh Emily You can't hold your drink And oh oh oh it was to be, what do you think? Of this heavy smog warning? Should we turn our tails and flee? Or just sit tight and breathe deep?
