The Magnetic Fields - 100,000 Fireflies Lyrics

Send "100,000 Fireflies" ringtones to your cell

I have a mandolin
I play it all night long
It makes me want to kill myself
I also have a dobro 
Made in some mountain range
Sounds like a mountain range in love 
But when I turn up the tone
On my electric guitar
I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me
I went out to the forest and caught 
A hundred thousand fireflies
As they ricochet round the room 
They remind me of your starry eyes
Someone else's might not have made me so sad 
But this is the worst night I ever had
'cause I'm afraid of the dark without you close to me
You won't be happy with me,
But give me one more chance
You won't be happy anyway
Why do we still live here 
In this repulsive town?  
All our friends are in New York
Why do we keep shrieking, 
when we mean soft things?  
We should be whispering all the time...
