about

This is the sound of Lou Reed, The Who, and AC/DC making out under the bleachers.
Prepare thyself to be rocked.

lyrics

---Lyrics---

You came into this world like a flower
Eyes like petals, to catch all the sun
But you dried up from other cold breezes
They left you wilted, and it all came undone

At first your life, it seemed way too simple
A wink, a flash of a smile
But did someone step on your rose-colored glasses,
Or did you just get a little bored in a while?

Now this isn’t any fast-breaking news
You can take it how you choose
You may win or you may lose
Either way, get away from your butterfly blues

You say you’re ready for some transformation
Off these old rags you must shake
Oh, but glitter on the eye, and some stockings thigh-high are not enough
There’s more that it takes

You feel like you’ve barely been born
Still wet in the wings
Butterflies they have wings, but a bee also stings
If you stay sharp, honey, you’re gonna break all their hearts

Now you don’t have to be bitchy and mean
And you don’t have to run with a cynical scene
Just leave those drones staring into their phones
‘Cause your walk’s more conversation than their two-thumb masturbation

You’re finally out there, and it’s more than just what you wear
Your latitude attitude
But all that’s new will soon fade in a few
Time to strip your soul to the nude

You say, “Wait—I’ve only just gone through this!”
Is that your only excuse?
‘Cause the next flights departing, so you’d best just get on it
You’ve got what you’ve got, and it’s just best to flaunt it

So come on, Madame Butterfly
Don’t pine away over yesterday
The past was never that good, anyway
Stay colorful, not like the cold and grey

Now this isn’t any fast-breaking news
And you can take it how you choose
You may win or you may lose
Either way, get away from those butterfly blues
