Fiction garden as you're burning,
Sudden motion.
Reastoring kind electric,
Falling under cloudy sky,
Running past the way,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly.
Can you hear dying butterfly, falling nightmare?
As you see
Reastoring kind electric,
As you hear the unknown cry,
Keep the motion on the floor,
These are butterfly, butter, butterfly,
Butter, butterfly, butter, butterfly,
Butter, butterfly.

Over years I hear a wonder,
Watching as you're under,
Screaming as the dust is growing,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly.

I can hear your motion round,
Crashing with your sound,
Flying underground, come on, come on, come on,
Butter, butterfly,
Come on, come on, come on, butterfly,
Come on, come on, come on, butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, he cant fly,
As I hear you're coming back home again,
Dying, dying butterfly, dying, dying butterfly,
Dying, dying butterfly, dying, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly began to fly,
Dying butterfly began to fly,
Dying butterfly began to fly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly.

Dying butterfly never dies, never dies,
Dying butterfly never dies, never dies,
Dying butterfly never dies, never dies.

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, you cant die
Walking 'cross the sky alright,
As you hear her turn around
And you see she hears your sound,
Dying butterfly, dying butterfly,
Dying butterfly, die!

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, you can see her,
Butter, butterfly, you can see her,
Butterfly, you can see her,
Butterfly, you can see her,
Butterfly, you can see her, oh yes, see her,
You can see her, oh yes, see her,
You can see her, oh yes, see her,
Butter, butterfly, you can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her,
You can see her, yes, you see her
As you're flying across the sky.
Gonna die,
Dying butterfly, gonna die,
You can see her fly, you can see her fly,
You can see her fly, you can see her fly,
You can, you can see her fly,
You can see her, you can fly,
You can see her die, die, die, die, die.
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
You can see her flying high
As she sees herself, say goodbye.
You can see her fly, goodbye,
You can see her screaming "butterfly",
Butterfly, butter, butter, butter,
Butter, butter, butter, butter,
Butter, butter, butter, butter,
Fly, fly, fly, fly,
Fly, fly, fly, fly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly,
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly.

You can, you can see her fly,
Butterfly.

Nineteen, nineteen century man,

Nineteen century, it's all through, yeah,

At use what you should be,

Nineteen century man, Twentieth century now, man.

And nineteen century it's all through.

Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
Oh Lord please won't you tell me
Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
He said to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who's a beggar, that always stares?

Why must I be the thief?
He asked of the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who lived with an open hand?
Well why must I be the thief?
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man put out his hand
And looked beyond his eye

And the thief he climbed that cross
To share that other's fate
But the Jesus man said "Not now,
my brother, not now, it's far too late"

Far too late
Far too late
Far too late
Far too late
Far too late
Far too late
Far too late

Do what you must
Take what you can
Steal the pride from every heart
Every angered man
Every angered man
Every angered man

I am the thief
I am the thief
And you may run
Yes, and you may hide
But I will get you yet
Yes I will
Because of you, 'cause it's just your pride
Just your pride!

Pride!, Pride!
Pride!, Pride!
Pride!, Pride!

And I will get you yet
Cos it's just your pride
I will get you yet
it's just your pride
I will get you yet
it's just your pride!

Like to tell you a story 'bout a man named Joe,
He got a head, like a head, like a head like soap,
Stands about five feet off the ground
Like a poor man, a poor mans always down.
Can't you see, cant you see how he runs all quick?
I hope someday he gets hit by a stick.
He dropped it down, it dropped him down,
He came up, came up cruising in across the ground.
He sit down, he sit down, he sit down today,
I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope he can cut his way.
Fly, fly, flash with the wind,
Good god, good god, good god, never see him.

I wonder, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder which way
You cruise the message, the message today.
You stick to stick to stick to stick,
What did you do about the fix?
How many lost and lost his head,
How many men lost and lost his head,
How many men, how many men lost his head?
I like to play one more time,
I like to play one more time.
Good god, now let me down.
How say the men underground?
Still bow your head down,
For too many times he blows my horn.
He says "Come on, come on, come on,
Good god, go!"

Too down, look up at the sky,
Face to face say goodbye,
Hard way to say youll stay,
Too many men lost and lost his head.

Ring, ring two more times,
I stay, I stay, I stay for the blast.

Home again, home again, taking a job,
Hope you can blow your horn you set above.

And the horn blows on,
Oh, the horn blows on,
How the, the horn, the horns blowing on,
And the horn, the horn blew, blew,
Blew on,
Blew, blew, blew, blew,
And the horn blew on, on, on.

As hes rushing round the Greyhound,
As he changed his velvet cab,
Turning over in his grey yard
He could have it, another sound.
He kept rushing 'cross the wayside
As his ever-ringing eye,
But his mellow market bringing
As he changed into a spy.
Kept on moving up the hill now,
Moving, up, up, up, up slow,
As he changed his years to blow, yeah,
He could give the velvet show.
Changing uphill as he rose now,
Changing uphill as he rose,
Changing uphill as he rose now,
Changing uphill as he rose.
Keep on moving sideways changer
As he felt the velvet touch,
Crying for his grandmother
As he came down this crush
Calling, changing, going uphill,
Calling, changing, going uphill,
Calling, changing, going uphill,
Calling, changing, going uphill.
As he flashed across the screaming
And his big wheel kept to a start
He tried putting his card in reverse
As he changed his heart pick card.
He just kept on changing, going uphill,
He never stopped, he never stopped.
As his flash lights changed to beacons
And his heart name chained to gold
He came running 'cross the highway
As he tried to pack up slow,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly.

As his fever hot came inside,
As his night changed into day
He could take the melted bisson
As he turned his heart away.
He was changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly.
As his night changed into sun,
As the crystal pace could see,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly,
Changing uphill, going slowly.

As he came across the top bay,
Find for his dynamite,
He kept pushing it through the sweet dream
As he moved across outside,
Just kept on moving, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill.

As he crossed across the sun
Dynamite just brought him down,
But his heart fingered the books under,
His feet couldnt touch the ground.
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill.

And the night turned silver pale
And the green men to sell the profit,
Change his gears into reverse,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill.

Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, going uphill,
Changing slowly, go.

As the pounds refused to see.

Silent invisible conversation
Correction: the coathanger should be upside-down
Oh little star
Froggy and Toady carried off the tangerine seeds one by one
And came back for the popcorn after dinner
Froggy said, "I saw you soaking in a tub of water lilies behind the (sea?)
Sometimes I ask around (moon/noon over the bay?)"

Froggy and Toady carried off tangerine seeds one by one
And came back (for the/full of) popcorn after dinner
Asking, "Will you have some?"
Correction: the coathanger should be upside-down
Oh little star of Bethlehem
Silent invisible conversation
I'll meet you at the railroad station
Silent invisible conversation
Saw you in the bathtub soaking with the water lilies behind the shed
Sometimes I ask around (moon/noon?)

Froggy and Toady carried off the tangerine seeds one by one
And came back for the popcorn after dinner
Asking, "Will you please have some?"
Correction: the coathanger should be upside-down
Oh little star of Bethlehem
Silent invisible conversation
I'll meet you at the railroad station

Morning, morning, morning
Good morning Mister (...........)
What you say, don't you eat
Every time I see you there
Don't you know I don't care any longer
Sing this song
Don't you know I'm going along

(Flashing traffic?)
Say, Mister Froggy and the Toady carried off the seeds one by one
Tangerine, tangerine seeds one by one
Oh little star of Bethlehem
Silent conversation
Don't you know I need some

Silent conversation
Oh no, it's a correction
The coathanger should be upside-down
Up on the moon you really don't need to hang your coat up
Because you know it's gonna go down
Correction: going up
Gravity man has turned himself around
And (seeing/singing) the same song he says,
"Up and down, don't know the words"
Oh little, oh little star of Bethlehem
Silent if it's a (poor?) conversation
You know (..........)

F-Froggy Froggy and Toady Toady
Tangerine seeds one by one
After dinner, pick up the popcorn
Asked you, do you want some?
Oh little star of Bethlehem
Silent conversation
Invisible (.................)
What you know, pop
Don't you know, pop
Soda pop is best in the morning
When you don't have nothing to talk about
Don't you know the light's out
Can't you move a little higher

Froggy and Toady carried off the tangerine seeds one by one
And came back for the popcorn after dinner
Oh will you, will you please have some popcorn
Little star of Bethlehem
Silent invisible conversation
I'll meet you at the railroad station
I wonder which way today, today
Oh little star of Bethlehem
Silent invisible conversation

Correction, correction, the coathanger should be upside-down
On the moon (................)
Oh, Froggy and Toady carried off the tangerine seeds one by one
And came back for the popcorn after dinner
Asking, "Do you want some?"
Asking, "Do you want water lilies in your bathtub?
Water lilies in your bathtub?
Water lilies in your bathtub?
Water lilies in your bathtub?
Water lilies in your bathtub?"
Silent invisible conversation
I'll meet you, meet you
Meet you, meet you, meet you, meet you, meet you at the railroad station
