    And let the clouds go sailing by”

    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, he'll
    Beat his wings 'til he burns them black...
    No, The Moth don't care when he sees The Flame. . .
    The Moth don't care if The Flame is real,
    'Cause 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. . . ”
