Fireflies (Live at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica, CA 9/4/80)

To be the last to leave
The last to be gone
Stolen from the ones
Who held onto it

To be the last in line
Oh, the ones that live on
Silhouette of a dream
Treasured by the ones
Who hung onto it

Almost a breakdown
Of our love affair
The stiletto cuts quick
Like a whip through the air

Long-distance winners
Will we survive the flight?
Not one of us runs
From firelight

I would love to believe (ooh)
I believe what you say (ooh)
In the drama of the moment (ooh)
Oh no, there is no easy way (ooh)
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close
'Til the fire fades

I would love to believe (ooh)
I believe what you say (ooh)
In the drama of the moment (ooh)
For us, there is no easy way (ooh)
No one ever leaves
Everyone stays close
'Til the fire fades

To be the last to leave
What caused the fearsome
Divorce in the night?
There was no competition

Well, to survive, do it right
Or you believe in the five
To survive the distance
Everyone fights
Everyone fights and the fire flies

Ooh, what happened to my feelings
When heartbreak comes in the night?
Some call it my nightmare
My five fireflies

Well, like a sailing ship
On one of love's rocks, no one
Of our love affair
Like a whip through the air
I would love to believe
I believe what you say
