butterfly oh you
better fly away from
all of this

butterfly
i better fly away from
your poison kiss

shaking pollen dust
off your wings
to fertilize
the egg that is my
heart

shaking pollen dust
off your lashes
to better see
the pain you’ve caused

(chorus)
i’ll be the mexican worry stone
in your pocket
if you’ll be the worrisome
pebble in my shoe

i’ll be the one you come to
whenever you need me
if you once
just let me hold you
(/chorus)

butterfly oh you
better fly away from
the fleeting light

butterfly
i better lie awake for
another night

shaking pollen dust
off your wings
i realize you are no
butterfly

shaking pollen dust
off your lashes
i realize you are a
butterfly of the night

(chorus)

butterfly oh you
better fly away from
my reaching grasp

butterfly
i better fly away from
your loving gasps

shaking pollen dust
off your lashes
and onto mine
i see you in my sleep

shaking pollen dust
off your wings
i dream about
the setting sun

(chorus)
