Butterfly (on A Pin) Lyrics by Boo Hewerdine

Harmonograph

0

You will find breaking hearts
In every guilded cage
When someone else has got the key
Just won't act their age
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Cinemas on Saturdays there's so much she will miss
Each time he leaves
He'll close the door
And seal it with a kiss
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Where no one can hear no one can get near
Oh but she's lost
The things in her mind
By which she's defined
Where are you gonna go
When he's done with you
There's nowhere else for you to turn
When you're borrowed and blue
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Where no one can hear no one can get near
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
Can't use her wings
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly...
