Well I thought I could catch your glow With an apple that I taught regret But you smashed that fruit And you spat on my shoe And you drew an airplane flying through my head I might as well be dead Let those fireflies chew off my legs 'Cause I know I don't wanna dance no more No, no, no, no no more Well I thought I could make you swoon With a light bulb that I taught to fly But you smashed that bulb And you chewed it to a pulp And you spat out fifty full-grown fireflies Well it was all a lie And those fireflies were made out of dust And I don't wanna watch them glow no more No, no, no, no no more Well I thought I could make you cry With a cowboy that I taught restraint But you snapped him in two And you buttered his boots And you threw him out into the pouring rain Well it ruined my day I had to glue him back together again And I don't think he'll ever dance no more No, no, no, no no more
