Asleep With The Fireflies

Turin Brakes


My girl she's asleep now 
Fleas leave her, jump to the ground 
Through a train window 
Flickering like a film frame 
Twenty four times a second 
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try 

Cos I've been hanging around 
My head in my hands 
And my feet on the ground 
It's been too long 
Been chasing tears 
I'm gonna leave the city 
I'm gonna set sail (x3) 

Wooooo, oh oh 
I fell asleep with the fireflies 
But let the moonlight pass me by 
On this long and lifeless road we walk on 
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try 

Cos I've been hanging around 
My head in my hands 
And my feet on the ground 
It's been too long 
Been chasing tears 
I'm gonna leave the city 
I'm gonna set sail (x3) 

Wooooo, oh oh 
Turn out the lights 
I see a sign and a sunset, yeah 
Ah, look at my life 
Could be a loser baby, could be a loser 
But with you i forget, now there is 
No use flapping around like a headless chicken 
Me and my girl gonna make it if we try 

Cos I've been hanging around 
My head in my hands 
And my feet on the ground 
It's been too long 
Been chasing tears 
I'm gonna leave the city 
I'm gonna set sail (x3)
