Like the eel who swims away to breed and die
when the time comes you have no choice but to say goodbye
self-destruction in search of protection is the name of the game
and when it all blows up in your face you have yourself to blame
You're a little moth burnt by the flame

You be warned, I say I'm sorry in advance
you can heed it but who are we kidding, what's the chance?
It's intrinsic, a natural instinct too mighty to fight
I never knew a moth to resist the attraction to the light
I'm a firefly in constant flight

With your friends out there in public you will say
I'm an asshole and it is your plan now to stay away
I'll believe it as soon as I see it, i've heard it before
but every night the moth will come flying back for more
and you knew me when you let me score

I'm here but only for tonight
Sleep tight, I know your dreams are white
You're dreaming that you will make me right
But I'm a firefly. A firefly in constant flight
