I just wanna go drive, see the night
wanna go drive, and find a light
take a small stop at the corner store
get my fix and i'll buzz off

as I fly through the air
I find a draft and settle down
It takes me into a bright lit room
flutter around, make no sound

I feel a sting and I feel a stir
the air beneath me brings me down
I have a sense, I have an urge,
with one last breath, they purge

The striking force crushes my limbs
I can't go on with out my limbs!
I catch a drift once again,
leave my legs and find a spot

one with comfort and one with light
A lovely spot to nestle
The beam I see is much to bright
with an everlasting hustle

One last glance I see the mess
my body is quite spattered
I know now that this is the light
to which I have been after

One to bear my dreams unto
and one that holds my memories
the one that shall forgive me of
my bitter life's tragedies

I say farewell to all that see
and those that care to ponder
the useless life of an innocent bug
squashed and wings tattered
An homage to the bug I killed the other night, may he or she rest in pieces
