Toad the Wet Sprocket - Butterflies lyrics
spoken]We saw something gigantic floating on the water I asked my dad what it was But he wouldn't tell me anything In time I will collect the world The eggs (I love) and wings (the wings) Of butterflies A man drove up in an ugly car And he flashed his lights at everything he saw And his eyes were red and his stereo was So loud you couldn't hear the engine's roar He yelled at everybody in the road And did not notice all the moths he'd massacred Spread across the open road [spoken]His skin flashed open, and all of a sudden there it was, And I still couldn't tell And you know when you get so close to something that big You can't see anything at all In time I will collect the world You who fall on calvary The eggs (I give) and wings (my children) Had you wings of Butterflies A moth had settled upon his arm and he looked at it with a lazy eye And he lifted up a gigantic hand and he Spread his fingers towards the sky He nudged the moth to make it fly away But moths are fragile things and He just wiped its body (x3) Down across his shoulder blade He's a wonder, he's a little black-wing boy Oh, my daughters, he'll fill you with joy In time I will collect the world You who soar o'er calvary The hearts (Oh father) and limbs (I offer) of Had you wings of Butterflies |
