catching fireflies

The Revivalists

My baby told me
You gotta get better if you ever wanna win
And I know that
She s not getting any better man she just sin
I still love her
But I know I was once there wearing them shoes
I m still hurting
?Cause the woman I love s giving me the blues

Sitting here sober
But I wonder what shape she ll find me in
I need her under my skin
Like a junkie needs heroin
And I m never going back to snake n jakes
The amount of money I spent I could ve bought the place
Not to mention that they know my face
Now it s hell getting out the place

So I m walking the streets tonight
I m catching some fireflies
Some would say that I m living a lie
But no more today no more tonight
You could say that I m under the gun
Nine million miles away from the sun
I ve hesitated much too long
But I m still having fun hope you re having fun

Belly up in an ambulance
I spent sunday making doctor friends
I could ve used a pair of depends
I hope that made you laugh ?cause you know I m a gentlemen
Heaven found me living didn t find me dead
Got a permanent ash mark on my forehead
But it still couldn t save me from lying in bed
Staring at your clothes in the closet
while I was out of my head

So I m walking the streets tonight
I m catching some fireflies
Some would say that I m living a lie
But no more today no more tonight
You could say that I m under the gun
Nine million miles away from the sun
I ve hesitated much too long
But I m still having fun hope you re having fun

I m a peaceful man today
Ain t got no more weekend wars to wage
So give me one more shot babe
