The Verna Cannon Ivory Idol lyrics

Glowing sort of like a firefly
Flirting with my wingspan
Pissing me off you're such a good example

But I can't see past you
You're blocking my view
Will you better me always?

I love to watch it, though it pains me
Every time it's beauty all the same

Maybe I could pull it off in some other country
Some other coast pretty tinker belly laughter
Something I can reach for but you catch me half-butterfly

Yanking up my chrysalis with embarrassment
(It fell off before I was finished)

You're such a good invention,wish I'd thought of you
First someone will always mention you
Just when I think I'm about to

And I could carve myself from you
But you'd be hollow
And I'd be small, my ivory idol
