Lyrics

[Chorus]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Born again overnight
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Born again overnight
Bright light's up high, dark thoughts in my mind
Born again overnight
Bright light's up high, grey smog all the time
Born again overnight
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Born again overnight
[Instrumental]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Bright light's up high, dark thoughts in my mind
Bright light's up high, grey smog all the time
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
[Instrumental]
Flying through the Yu Garden to the People's Square
That's where you find your happiness
With a little too much Szechuan in the pot
Sending sensational content
Neck stuck from looking up
At the high-rise buildings trying to caress
Enlightenment through an out-of-body experience
You're thriving in this environment
Come find me on almost every continent
Cold-blooded, but I can't stand the Antarctic
Guess I've been born again overnight
[Instrumental]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Born ag—
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterf—
[Instrumental]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Born again overnight
