Well now life's a little crazy for a girl like me My mama left me high and dry up in a tree Time went by I finally hit the ground Seventeen years I been hangin' around Now it's time to bust out of my shell Strut my stuff and raise a little hell We party to the hilt cuz we don't have long This is the cicada song! We sing and we fly We mate and say goodbye It took a lot of years just to get to this Now we're in cicada bliss! I don't got much of a voice but I like to sing I make a little music with my 'cada wings My eyes are always red but I'm not stoned I got a lot of company I'm never alone I'm lookin' kinda cute in my little black dress I get a lot of hittin' on I must confess We do a lot of drinkin' cuz we don't have long This is the cicada song! We sing and we fly We mate and say goodbye It took a lot of years just to get to this Now we're in cicada bliss Well we're always buzzing but we never do no drugs We're just out to have a good time, crazy little brood of bugs We sing and we fly We mate and say goodbye It took a lot of years just to get to this Now we're in cicada bliss We sing and we fly We mate and say goodbye It took a lot of years just to get to this Now we're in cicada bliss Now we're in cicada bliss (give me a kiss) Now we're in cicada bliss
