“She's Shiny” lyrics and music by Marc Gunn
Performed by Marc Gunn
from As Long As I'm Flyin'
* She's shiny! Oh so shiny!
Don't say a word. I'm in love with that girl
She's shiny! Oh so shiny!
She keeps me spinning round and round in a whirl
Carryin' the weight of heartache from her past.
A-runnin' towards a future that won't last
What a beaut'! That girl makes my heart soar
She lights the night like a brightly shining… star
Dressed up for fancy ball in the dark of night.
Ain't gonna pull my punches, cuz I love to fight.
‘Fore I knew, things got out of control
I set my sights on makin' it out whole
Sometimes she doesn't like the way I deal
Sometimes she lets me know with steel
Sometimes she sets good men on fire
Climb aboard and she'll ride up your spire.
I found her in a down and out, dirty place
Head down, feelin' a disgrace.
Looked inside and saw hope in her eyes
I knew one day that Firefly would fly!
