Chris kHz - Firefly

My love is like a firefly pumping out a megawatt of red light
A bright coat to filter out the defects
But not a beacon of hope by any stretch
This city contorts you like a sideshow
And my love's in a jar with peepholes and a wanted sign
Time-wise I ain't even close to my prime
You know that girl over on Blondel been in every room in every hotel
This side of the 18th district line but by God I swear she don't sleep right
Sometimes the booth feels like a prison cell, a cold hell
Sixteen times a night she goes there with a frozen stare
A view back on herself like a pistol
Cold glass on every side
Fragile divide for protection
Hope sparkles in the haze
Lost in the maze of reflections
My love walks off, bends, coughs, takes a hit of who knows what
Then flirts in ultraviolet, burns in ultraviolet
She don't need support, she don't need a friend, she don't need anybody's hand
Just take this train to the end, before you know you're back on your back again
Where's the siren when you need it
Took my girl up to the city
We laid out on a bed of self pity
And in my briefcase was the new testament
For that girl was the devil in fishnet
One SOS out of the machine
One flare gun burst over the mainstream
Big up to the boys back in Bean town
Wicked verse, wicked terse
This one way window's no more use, my true for form is showing through
But I'll behave, I wanna try
I wanna free the firefly
Cold glass on every side
Fragile divide for protection
Hope sparkles in the haze
Lost in the maze of reflections
Cold glass on every side
Fragile divide for protection
Hope sparkles in the haze
Lost in the maze of reflections
Reflections, reflections, reflections, reflections
Reflections, reflections, reflections, reflections
Reflections, reflections, reflections, reflections
Reflections, reflections, reflections, reflections
Reflections
