• 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 till 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.

  Aimee Mann

  Real, Games, Wings
