CATEGORY: FILK    TIMES READ: 2926    RATING: 9    SERIES: FIREFLY

I'm trying to tell you something bout my Firefly

Takes me through the 'verse and daily helps me to get by

But the best thing it's ever done for me

Is surround me with crew that's family

Love keeps her flying after all.

The Reavers have a hunger that's insatiable.

And Saffron has a charm that's hard to resist.

And I wrap my browncoat round me like a blanket.

But the Alliance took my freedom and they shrank it.

I've enemies for sure. Yeah.

CHORUS 1

I went Persephone

To Ariel to Whitefall.

I took on some passengers,

I smuggle lots of cargo.

There's more than one Alliance cruiser out there,

Chasing me in a crooked line.

But the longer I stay on Serenity, the closer I am to fine.

Simon is the doctor on Serenity

With a sister who's creepifying, morbid, and crazy

They're running from the blue-hand men who took her sanity

They degraded her performance by taking out her brain, see

She spent three years captive in the acadamy

Simon saved her, now they're free

CHORUS 2

Have you got a job for us?

Do you need a gun hand?

No Feds and no questions, just put the coin in my hand.

The Alliance is pushing us into the verse, chasing Serenity.

But in the Black, I've always found freedom,

You can't take the sky from me!

I went to a bar just after two

Cuz U-day, and every day, a brawl oft will ensue

Jayne and Zoe have my back and join the little war

We're rescued by Wash, who plays with dinosaurs

Yes, saved by Serenity.

EXTENDED CHORUS

I went to a Shindig, I was stabbed on Persephone

I've shot lots of people, but done so politely

I found a good mechanic, Kaylee keeps me flying

I rent out my shuttle, Inara has me spinning

Book went to the Bible, but River revised it

we do right by others, and oft times regret it.

The Alliance is pushing us into the verse, chasing Serenity.

But in the Black, I've always found freedom,

You can't take the sky from me!
