Firefly's Ironic

Firefly's Ironic

By Ying (2003), with apologies to "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette (written by Alanis Morissette/Glen Ballard, 1995)

A cold man held both men's fate
She waited not a beat, "him" said and Wash saved
Saw the tough guy show his gun array
Then this mercenary just slept through the fray
Firefly's ironic . . . don't you think?

CHORUS:
It's merc Jayne with his girly name
How esteem's high for Inara's sex trade
Little Kaylee Frye, a top engineer makes
Shepherd's quick on . . . the trigger

In the show called "Safe" of our Firefly
They hauled cows throuuuugh space, though cows aren't cows inside
Corral was by Shepherd tied, he then stood by
And as he got shot down he said:
Need a preacher, I might
And Firefly's ironic . . . don't you think?

CHORUS:
It's merc Jayne with his girly name
How esteem's high for Inara's sex trade
Little Kaylee Frye, a top engineer makes
Shepherd's quick on . . . the trigger

Firefly's a funny show, it's creepifying you
Then you blink, you're laughing away, then you've got tear-flowing eyes
Firefly's a funny show, oh there is no doubt some
Folks think our man-ape-gone-wrong's a hero 'cause he robbed Higgins' safe

Wee gun in hand, Wash assumes macho state
Threat'ning foe seen grind through the engine intake
It's like how Simon's good, and yet he schemed quite a heist
It's helping the missus to dream
And then sleeping from kissing "good night"
And Firefly's ironic . . . don't you think?
Wash gabs to prove "laconic" . . . and so I really do think . . .

CHORUS:
It's merc Jayne with his girly name
How esteem's high for Inara's sex trade
Little Kaylee Frye, a top engineer makes
Shepherd's quick on . . . the trigger

Firefly's a funny show, it's creepifying you
Firefly's a funny, funny show, oh there is no doubt
There is no doubt
