Keep the thought and I know you've been hotter
I never hurt you
I pray to follow
Now I want to swallow
Every part of you

. . .


There you were on the floor
Cut up and all alone
I'll help you
Conceived in a chrome dream I was a crease in the shirt that this world wears
Till I met Blue
I was in obscurity he said
"Loosen up who do you wanna be?"

We could steal a car
And listen to the stars
I can see you've choked on them too
Had enough of late night films
Just enough for an hour or two
Hey ,Blue, show me something new
Hey, Blue, show me something new

Blue, I've got a question every time I hold you
Yeah, Blue, I've got a question every time I swallow you it's true

Spike danced for 10 days long
We were just heading for the sun
You shot him down there's blood on my face
His heart's in the right place
What they gonna do to you
What they gonna do

Blue, don't forget the word I warned you
Oh, Blue,don't let them push you
Don't let them destroy you
Meanwhile, I'm searching with my brain-blown eyes
See the world through my dirty, lonely, mixed-up mind

. . .



Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday?
Another Friday night waiting for a revelation
I can see a million faces in the condecation

In a moment you'd changed
Things weren't the same
You were talking at me not with me
And your tongue was burning up in flames
Are you coming back? Are you coming back?
When Monday comes you'll be alone with
The whole world staring at you

Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday?
Hey my friend friend you better leave now I'm gonna go my own way
You said I suffer from inner frustration

In a moment you changed
Things weren't the same
You were talking at me not with me
And your tongue was burning up in flames
And when you turn him off
Where does he go?
Where've the years gone?
I don't no
Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday?
Hey my friend are we gonna make it till Monday?

You could flap your wings a thousand miles away
Butterfly
A laughing salesman sings
His world so far away
Butterfly

Butterfly
Butterfly

You could take the storm away forever every day
Cause you're mine
And I don't know what to say
You could let my smile disappear for a year
Cause you're mine
That's the only way I like it to be

Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly

You could flap your wings a thousand miles away
I'd still feel the pain
I'd still feel the pain
You could flap those eyes a thousand miles away
I'd still feel the way
I'd still feel the way

Butterfly
Butterfly

Here she comes now
Here she comes now
Here it comes now
Here she comes now
Here it comes now...
When we get to the best part
It happens all the time
You tell me all your lies
You tell me all your lies
You get your kicks from seeing me on the floor
Tied to your bed
Tied to the things you said
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back

Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly...

. . .


You get the burn
We're on the train
I feel no pain
I feel no pain

You set the sights
But I'm already there
Do you care?
Do you care?

I can't get it out of my head
When you said
I'm gonna leave

I felt surprised
That you wanted to know
Where the geese go to
Late at night
I'm feeling fine
What is it inside
It's inside

And I can't get it out of my head
When he said
I'm leaving

. . .



6 O 'Clock I'm wasted
She is in my bones
This city 's all gone dead on me, again
May as well find my way home
No one really knows me
No one ever said
Surely isn't free
Surely...doesn't end, honey
Like a playing song in my head
Drifting on, here I am
Heading for the blue light
Shivered back again
Almost in the blue light
When you shivered back again, old friend
It 's coming on, in my head...
Playing on and on
Something too hard will be ok
The things you do...
It 's coming with you...
Here comes the blue light
Here comes the blue light
...Still playing on...

. . .


You've got to lift yourself up so high
You can't see the ground
You don't hear a sound
You've got to move it up so slow
You see it all
You'll probably fall

I'd rather die than see you fly
Than see you try
I'd rather die than see you fly
Than see you try

It's like pushing locked doors to get in your mind
I don't care what I find
It's like pushing locked doors to get in your mind
I don't know what I'll find

You've got to move me up
So high it hurts
So high it burns
But if you let me down
Don't bother to call
Just let me fall
I'd rather die than see you fly
Than see you try
I'd rather die than see you fly
Than see you try

It's like pushing locked doors to get in your mind
I don't know what I'll find
It's like pushing locked doors to get in that mind
I don't care what I find
It's like pushing locked doors to get in that mind
I don't care what I find
It's like pushing locked doors to get in that mind
I don't care what I find
It's like pushing locked doors to get in that mind
I don't care what I find
It's like pushing locked to get in that mind
I don't care what I find
It's like pushing locked doors to get in that mind
I don't care what I find

It's only one...

One way to go
One way to go

One way to go
One way to go

. . .


Get Back, get back again and again
I've been here since I can remember when
My life is a boat, being blown by you
With nothing ahead, just the deepest blue...

To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone

Come back, come back again and again,
I've been here since I can remember when
The world just spins whilst mine stands still
Nothing's changed in your gravity grave

To me you're like a setting sun
You rise then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone

To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
To me you're like a setting sun
You shine then you're gone
Go down on your light
So bright it burns my eyes
Sounds like a perfect way
To end my life
To me you're like a setting sun...
To me you're like a setting sun...

. . .


What I said
Couldn't be that good
Because you left
You left

??
What I did
Seems so strange now
When I touch you
And you taught me
And what we did
was something good
What we did.......??
You changed me
I couldn't change
I couldn't change

. . .
