Flicker Flicker
Flicker flicker
Flicker flicker, little flame
Bright and boisterous, yet contained, sealed
Surrounded by glass, set never to leave
Flicker flicker
Flicker flicker little flame
Dance, dance in every direction you want
Flicker flicker...reach up and out of your prison made
of glass
A little ball of distraction, elegant as can
Be
Flicker flicker
Flicker flicker little flame
Dance about, touching all those whom you attracted
Looking to be as delicate a red and orange prism
Made of the finest crystals.
