Don't you remember that snowy December
when we went to see "Singing in the Rain"?
I shouldn't have smuggled in that bottle of gin
'cause after the film, I could barely walk
But, darling, don't you know
it's only human to want to kill
a beautiful thing
When I was seven summer lasted forever
I used to chase fireflies through the woods
Tiny green lights circling warm August nights
I'd catch them inside a washed-out old jar
I dreamed of the stars with the jar by my bed,
but each morning my pretty bugs were dead
Oh, darling, don't you see
it's only human to want to kill
a beautiful thing
We should have been dancing like lovers in the movie,
but I fell and cut my head in the snow
I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you
but, instead I got sick on the train
But, darling, don't you know
it's only human to want to kill
a beautiful thing
But, darling, can't you see
it's only human to want to kill
a beautiful thing
