Cover art for Birdhouse in Your Soul lyrics by They Might Be Giants

"Tho I respect that a lot, I'd be fired if that were my job after killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts."

In other words, I have a lot of admiration for the work that the lighthouse does, but I'm just a little night-light, my light isn't powerful enough for that task. If it had been me on that shore when Jason and the Argonauts arrived, they would have crashed and died because of my shortcomings, and I would have beem fired as a result.

Is that clear enough?
