[Intro]

One, two, three and

[Verse 1]

I am the moth beating his wings against the dusty window

Outside of your dull, fluorescent light

Youth was dark with the simple things

You had your light, I had my wings

You were the brightest star in the black night

My fluorescent girl in the city light

[Chorus]

How long, my fluorescent favorite?

How long 'til you are mine?

Today, tonight? Today, tonight?

How long, my fluorescent light?

[Verse 2]

The spiders, and the ants, and the dance goes

Two by two into arks of oblivion (Ha)

Ours is a desperate song

"You're not that bright, I'm not that strong"

And our outcome looks exceedingly clear

We are always separate, always near

[Chorus]

How long, my fluorescent favorite?

How long 'til you are mine?

Today, tonight? Today, tonight?

How long, my fluorescent light, oh-oh-oh?

How long, my fluorescent favorite?

How long 'til you run out of light?

A year, a month, a day, a night?

How long, my fluorescent light?

[Bridge]

When you lead me on

With your pseudo sun

Your light might not be all that bright

But in the dark, it feels so strong

And my wings can't last this long

[Verse 3]

You were the brightest star in the black night

My fluorescent girl in the city light

[Chorus]

How long, my fluorescent favorite? (Ah-ah)

How long 'til you are mine? (Ah-ah)

Today, tonight? Today, tonight? (Ah-ah)

How long, my fluorescent light, oh-oh-oh? (Ah-ah)

How long, my fluorescent favorite? (Ah-ah)

How long 'til you run out of light? (Ah-ah)

A year, a month, a day, a night? (Ah-ah)

How long, my fluorescent light? (Ah-ah)
