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 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
