Butterfly How Long It Takes to Die by The Flaming Lips Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2013

[Verse 1]
If you've ever really seen the sunrise
You'd see how many times it tries
If you've ever really seen the sunset
You'd see how long it takes to die

[Verse 2]
You can see the butterfly has landed
Landing on your face, it licks your eye
You can feel its tongue making a teardrop
You will see how long it takes to cry

[Verse 3]
You can see the universe beginning
Making a new sun in a new sky
You can see the universe is ending
Making a new dark in a new light
