The Moth

Aimee Mann

The moth don't care when he sees the flame

he might get burned but he's in the game

and once he's in he can't go back, and

beat his wings 'til he burns them black

no the moth don't care when he sees the flame

no the moth don't care when he sees the flame



the moth don't care if the flame is real

cuz flame and moth got a sweetheart deal

and nothing fuels a good flirtation

like need and anger and desperation

no the moth don't care if the flame is real

no the moth don't care if the flame is real



So come on let's go ready or not

cuz there's a flame I know hotter than hot

and with a fuse that's so thoroughly shot

away



the moth don't care if the flame burns low

cuz moth believes in an afterglow

and flames are never douzed completely

all you really need is a love of heat

no, the moth don't care if the flame burns low

no, the moth don't care if the flame burns low



So come on let's go ready or not

cuz there's a flame I know hotter than hot

and with a fuse that's so thoroughly shot

away
