Oh light my way my shining firefly Oh light my way my shining firefly You know she bought a revolver with her pension fund When she asked me to join her my face was stunned "Are you gonna come with me When the sun goes down?" We had a love so deep that I thought I'd drown What I saw through the fog Was a beautiful cog in the monolithic death machine As we drop down below All the mangled rainbows I can show her just what I mean So I took her to the south Where the beast has a mouth At least his razor sharp teeth are clean Sometimes I'm afraid to meet the calf of the sacred cow I'd like to quit the fear porn But I don't know how I'll show you some things that are easier done than said Look up at the stars instead of eating lead What I saw through the fog Was a beautiful cog in the monolithic death machine As we drop down below All the mangled rainbows I can show her just what I mean So I took her to the south Where the beast has a mouth At least his razor sharp teeth are clean You've been living on small talk and cigarettes Baby I'm not cool but I've no regrets What I saw through the fog Was a beautiful cog in the monolithic death machine As we drop down below All the mangled rainbows I can show her just what I mean So I took her to the south Where the beast has a mouth At least his razor sharp teeth are clean Oh light my way my shining firefly
