Fireflies (And So Do Tomatoes When I Dance)

I had so much fun doing "Give Up Ham" that I had to try again. Tonight I was walking home and listening to Owl City. All of a sudden, these glowly lights blinked around me. At least a dozen fireflies. I was so happy that I put on "Fireflies" by Owl City and danced down the street. Thats what inspired this song. Enjoy. (Also, here's the instrumental of the song, so you can sing along. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O047ckcmlMc)


Fireflies (And So Do Tomatoes When I Dance)

Somebody ripped out their eyes

When my IPod played “Fireflies”

Please don’t hurl

As I dance down your street

A crowd began to gather there

Screams floated everywhere

They called me cruel

But couldn’t help but stare



You’d like to pretend you didn’t see

The dance moves that shook me

Im sorry to say

But there are some things you just can’t un-see

Who knew that retinas could bleed?



Im in danger of getting mugged

If I don’t stop messing up

The human race’s happiness

A gunshot just missed my head

Someone advised me to eat some lead

I can feel my life hanging by a thread



You’d like to pretend you didn’t see

The dance moves that shook me

Im sorry to say

But there are some things you just can’t un-see

Who knew that retinas could bleed?

(When I move my feet)



I take a few quick steps back

(Feet, take me away from here)

Cause I see the mob plan their attack

(Feet, take me away from here)

Im kinda tired and have sore feet

(Feet, take me away from here)

This is the very last thing I need



If I shake just one more time

The big guy with the knife

Will end my life

And leave me in a deep well

(I hate deep wells)

But I have to flail my arms

And march to the beat of my heart

Even if you

Don’t see it as art

(Its art)



You’d like to pretend you didn’t see

The dance moves that shook me

Im sorry to say

But there are some things you just can’t un-see

Who knew that retinas could bleed?

(Its time to leave)



I have to move my two left feet

Oh please ignore my dancing

Im sorry to say

But there are some things you’ll never un-see

Im sorry I made your retinas bleed

(Its best you can’t see)



You’d like to pretend you didn’t see

The dance moves that shook me

Im sorry to say

But there are some things you just won’t un-see

Who knew that retinas could bleed?
