Fireflies - Live 1980, Santa Monica, CA

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 the 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
Till 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
Till 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 fireflies

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
