It took a flicker And we quickly fluttered We were drawn By the bright lights The intermittent glow More like a pulse A rhythm A hung beat box Booming We nodded our wings And numbed our antennas We were warned The dance will consume us Our wings will get a mind of their own We won’t stop Once the beat was in us We couldn’t beat it out It wasn’t our fault It was too irresistible Too intoxicating We hung high and low Circling closer So we fell One by one Don’t get drawn in Stay away from them The bright flicking lights The ones that deceive you The ones that wear you down That burns your wings That brings an end to you Stay away from the moth dance
