Moth against the windowpane,
moth against the windowpane,
you keep banging against the window,
wanting the light,
the light upon which,
you will probably burn yourself to death,
are you insane,
are you insane,
moth,
moth against the windowpane,
you keep banging against it,
again and again,
wanting to come in,
but trust me,
you are better off outside,
better off outside,
where you are far less likely to die,
and I would prefer,
to see you that way,
flying free,
and not burnt to a crisp,
upon my light bulb,
because I would only have to throw you,
out the window again,
and you would be dead,
and I am sure if you have time to think about it,
I am sure you would rather be alive,
and me too,
because I would,
only have to scrape you,
off of the lightbulb and complain.
Moth,
moth against the windowpane,
moth against the windowpane,
please do fly,
fly away,
fly away and do not die today,
because your life,
your life is far too short anyway.
