Butterflies

[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 itwas,

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 lazyeye

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
