I looked up and picked out a map in the sky   no need for the nude of the moon as I'm guided by fireflies   and they whisper prayers to my feet   as I tiptoe through gardens minding the slumber of parakeets   and lovers on the way   I won't feel the pull of the coming day   or the compromise of sleep   'cause I've got a fire on the soles of my feet      I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me   not stopping for water or dew covered daisies   not waiting for ribbons or medals to praise me   not washing the blood that has covered and stained me      Oh to be fooled by the wool that has covered me   oh to be led by the light of a melody      I'm making my way while the sun cannot stain me   I'm watching the road with two young eyes to guide me   not looking behind to ensure that the home fires are shrinking   the fireflies fade as the city lights find me      Oh to be fooled by the wool that had covered me   oh to be led by the light of a melody      I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me   I'm watching the road with two young eyes to guide me   I'm making my way while the sun cannot stain me   I'm going as far as these crooked legs take me
