Butterfly House
Tuesday night
Sat in the back row
Watching my life on the screen
Filled with holes
Too many lost souls
In the butterfly house
Oh it begins, I missed some of the start
So quiet I could only hear my heart
If you haven’t read the script
If you haven’t learnt the cards
You cannot play the part
If it’s not within you
If it’s not within you
Climb up here
Up on my wing
We’ll burn the reels
And start again
It’s a trip
It’s a trick
It’s a game of hide and seek
Who you’ve been
What you’ve seen
Shed your skin, be like me
Wave your flag
In the wind
Follow me, in my dreams
Be as naked
And as free
As a lima bean
Lima bean
Lima bean
Lime bean
A man dressed in blue
Came into the room
And sat down right next to me
He spoke to me
Like he knew who I was
But I had never seen him before
He wasn’t looking for eternity anymore
Now the world looks very small
Through the glass
If you haven’t read the script
If you haven’t learnt the cards
You cannot play the part
If it’s not within you
If it’s not within you
Climb up here
Up on my wing
We’ll burn the reels
And start again
It’s a trip
It’s a trick
It’s a game of hide and seek
Who you’ve been
What you’ve seen
Shed your skin, be like me
Wave your flag
In the wind
Follow me, in my dreams
Be as naked
And as free
As a lima bean
If it’s not within you
If it’s not within you
If it’s not within you
If it’s not within you
Within you
If you haven’t read the script
If you haven’t learnt the cards
You cannot play the part
If it’s not within you
If it’s not within you
I was looking to start again
I was looking for answers
Now I’d reached the end
I was searching for the truth
I was waiting for something
To happen soon
Soon
Something true
Something bright and new
Something to happen
Happen soon
