Girl With The Butterfly Wings
from Last Astronaut In Space by Pea Green Boat
lyrics
You're still an animal inside
You've got the lion's share of pride
Deep down inside you
In all your jungle sermons
You never spoke of purpose
What lies beneath the surface
Monkey see what monkey do
Maybe it's in the essence of your soul
Where all desires play a role
How nice would that be?
Lately have you felt your life is in a hole
Did your disciples heed the call
And are you happy
Howling at stars?
Barking at cars?
Bury her
Like the dog that you are
Girl with butterfly wings
She gave you everything
And now you'll watch her
flying out your window
And so it follows you
In every single step that you take
To say you made a mistake
Would be an understatement
Despite your creature comforts
You're still an animal inside
You've got the lion's share of pride
Deep down inside you
We heard a song in the air
The final song that you shared
It was a funeral dirge
About a love affair
And now the sermon be damned
It's time to strike up the band
Now the word is everywhere
Now all you reap
Are the secrets that you keep
Locked away
In the drawer by your bed
Girl with butterfly wings
She gave you everything
Everything
That's flying out your window
And so it follows you
In every single step that you take
To say you made a mistake
Would be an understatement
I hope it follows you
In every single step that you take
To say you made a mistake
Would be an understatement
