underscores: Just outside the city
underscores: I was holding something
underscores: No one's ever seen before
underscores: Its eyes looked kind of pretty
underscores: Its irises were blacked out
underscores: And its scales were made of gold
underscores: And even through the flash floods
underscores: I spared it every harvest
underscores: 'Cause I wanted it to grow
underscores: The scientists came knocking
underscores: And something deep within me
underscores: That refused to let it go
underscores: I know you are
underscores: Onto something, onto something
underscores: I know you are
underscores: Onto something, onto something
underscores: I know you are
underscores: Onto something, onto something
underscores: I know you are
underscores: Onto something, onto something
underscores: So I gave it to the city
underscores: And hoped that maybe one day
underscores: It'd pass its children all its luck
underscores: It was something of a mascot
underscores: Till one day they had found
underscores: Its silver belly facing up
underscores: For a week they kept it quiet
underscores: And without a proper burial
underscores: They kept it in a jar
underscores: It was stressed until it passed
underscores: The pump had overfilled with sand
underscores: And then they spoiled a lucky charm
