Lyrics

[Intro]
Bye-bye, Shanghai
[Instrumental]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
[Chorus]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Born again overnight
(Born again overnight)
Bright light's up high, grey smog all the time
[Verse 1]
Okay, let me trace my steps
Pour a drink, let's recap the sequence
One minute, you're swigging on a green tea
Next minute, floating on a pillow in a den
From there, it gets a little hazy
Like a camera out of focus, shaking
Slow motion in the club, free-falling
Through my seat, hit the floor transforming
Undergoing complete metamorphous
From a moth caterpillar to a chrysalis
Spinning in a silken house, like a spider spins a web (Born again overnight)
I'm a well-known insect
[Instrumental]
(Born again overnight)
[Chorus]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Born again overnight
Born again overnight
Born again overnight
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
[PostChorus]
Bye-bye, Shanghai
[Instrumental]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
[Instrumental]
Kick it
[Instrumental]
Born again overnight
[Chorus]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Born again overnight
Born again overnight
Bright light's up high, grey smog all the time
