Truckstop butterfly
covered in gasoline
Truckstop butterfly
kiss you till you're clean
Me and a man with a mohawk on his head
found a dirty butterfly half dead
Rainbow of shiny oil slick and stuck on wing
helpless in a puddle muddy thing
7-11 cherry soda and a pie
30 ton steel grey cloud
and the sky is dark and dripping
though we stop and wonder why
You're running late but what a great alibi
Truckstop butterfly
covered in gasoline
Truckstop butterfly
kiss you till you're clean
(get gone!)
Far out east in deserts there's a vein of inky gold
here out west you wear it like a coat
Me and the man with a mohawk watch you go
folllow sun and leave the melting snow
Man, how I miss you
Truckstop butterfly
Fly so I can't see you
Truckstop butterfly
I hope you made it, and you didn't die
Still, I do miss you
Truckstop butterfly
Truckstop butterfly
Truckstop butterfly
