lyrics

They’ll be drawn by the colors that you wear
They will praise your capacity to care
When they ask you to sell all you are because you’re rare
Don’t you dare, butterfly, don’t you dare

They will look not with love but with their eyes
Brandish wallets larger than their hearts in size
At the end of the night, they will strip your will to fly
So don’t you cry, butterfly, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry, butterfly, don’t you cry

They will take you to a garden by the bay
To a house where the art collector stays
At the end of the day, they will stamp you on a page
So fly away, butterfly, fly away
Fly away, butterfly, fly… away
