Lyrics for Butterfly

Butterfly butterfly burning up my only sky This is your highway this is your heart Never felt more far away than when I fly My heart is a violin And I feel my skin coming off of me again Bu-bu-bu-butterflew up up and forgot about the only things I knew ohoh Oh my god as I grew up up that I knew ya Pulling up gettin' down This whole place is crazy town Music bumping and the lights come down Never felt at home in any place I found Oh I live in a cold wet wind And I feel the chill coming over me again Bu-bu-bu-power grew up up and forgot about the only things I knew ohoh Oh my god how I flew up up And the crowd went hush And the worldwind shook And my body was crushed by the loose window That I knew ya that I knew ya
