Lullaby

By: Lux Lucre
(to the tune of "Lullaby" as performed by Shawn Mullins)


Kaylee grew up staring 
at the stars 
on a prairie moon with fields and saloon bars 
her parents grew big vegetables 
everyone farmed there 
they hung out with folks like 
ranchers and blacksmiths at country fairs 
she feels safe now 
flying through the starry tracks
and from the bridge I can tell that 
she loves this ship and she can relax 
and just before 
she fixes Serenity's drive  
Kaylee sings to it a lullaby, 
she says 
everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly 
everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly 
firefly 

she's travelled half the 'verse  
seen many a great city 
The machinery talks to her all the while 
and Simon and Inara tell her 
she's so pretty 
but she's most pretty still
when her face contains a smile 
`cause even her smile 
can take off the curse 
and she's seen her share of devils 
in this big wide 'verse
But, everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly 
everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly 
firefly 

I told her I ain't so sure 
about this freight
it's hard to get a job in this world 
and keep legally straight 
seems like everyone here agrees 
it's kind of like Dodge City with Chinese, 
but, 
everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly 
everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly 
everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly 
everything's gonna be all right 
firefly, firefly, firefly, bye, bye 
bye, bye
