Butterfly Lyrics by Jay Bennett

The Magnificent Defeat

0

Hey, butterfly, you better fly away quick
Or that little boy's gonna catch you in his net
Well, I don't know how fast you think that you are
Or what kind of camouflage you think you got on
Buy you're not fast enough for that little boy
You're gonna be his toy pretty soon

Hey, little girl, you better run away soon
Or that little boy's gonna catch up with you
Well, I don't care how pretty you think you are
Or if someday you're gonna be a star
But that little boy is gonna catch up with you
You're gonna be his toy, aw pretty soon
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Suck and blow, man)

Don't know what kind of God you got on your mind
But you better make your peace with him
Or one day you're gonna find
You're gonna be apologizing on your death bed
'Bout all the wicked things that you said
But you know God, he's gonna catch up with you
Pretty soon you're gonna be his toy
Yeah, baby, yeah, you're gonna be his toy
Hmmm...
