I'm your [Dm] only friend, I'm [Eb] not your only [F] friend, but I'm a [Bb] little glowing friend, [Cm] but really [Db] I'm not [G] actually
[C]
[F] Lucanarii in the alley by the [C] light switch, who [Am] watches over [C] you?
Make a [F] little birdhouse [Eb] in your soul, lots of put [Ab] to find upon [Eb] it,
Say I'm the [Ab] only bee in your [Eb] planet, make a [Ab] little birdhouse [C] in your soul.
[F] [C] [F]
[C] I [F] have a secret to [C] tell, from [F] my electrical [C] well,
It's a simple message [F] and I'm leaving [G] out the whistles and [C] bells,
So the [F] room must listen to [C] me, [F] filibuster vigilantly,
[C] My name is [F] Lucanarii, one note spelt [G] L-I-C-E,
[Am] My [F] story's infinite, [D] like the [F] Longines' symphony,
[G] It doesn't [C] rip, [F] Lucanarii in the alley by the light [C] switch,
Who [F] watches over [C] you?
Make a [F] little birdhouse in [Eb] your soul, lots of put [Ab] to find upon [Eb] it,
Say I'm the [Ab] only bee in your [Eb] planet, make a [Ab] little birdhouse [C] in your soul.

There's a [F] picture opposite [C] me, of my [F] primitive ancestry,
