A little bird told me there's a troll just out ahead
Hungry for reactions so I'd better fly instead
I said little bird now wait I don't have any wings
That troll can not get to me 'cause I don't care about a thing
I walked along my way and soon I met the crooked troll
Smoking underneath the bridge his eyes out of control
Singing shine, yeah
The troll asked what's my favorite thing
And I said I hate it all
He cracked a drink and laughed at that and he wrote it on the wall
I asked why he's writing that
And he said he'd like to know
Where the hell I'm coming from and where I plan to go
I sang shine, yeah
Shine on through
I was gonna jump the bridge to see what death was like
The troll said he can feel me but he doesn't empathize
Went back to the bird and asked if that's the only way
We all deserve to die someday
She said and flew away
Singing shine, yeah
Shine on through
