Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lazy butterfly, napping on me
Dreaming of the sky and rollie pollies
Wake up, wake up, clouds are coming, clouds are coming
Wake up, wake up, rains are falling, rains are falling
[Verse 2]
Colors in my eye are staring at me
Anchor at my side, as sweet as silver
Pleasure, pleasure, don't forget her, don't forget her
Love her, love her, I won't forget her, I won't forget her
[Verse 3]
Seashell fingernail, scratching at me
Brown-eyed lullaby singing at me
Come on, come on, try and catch me, try and catch me
Come on, come on, try and catch me, try and catch me
[Verse 4]
Cotton old cloud smoke, I know he feels it
Rising from an oak because I feel it
He burn, he burn, mesmerizing, mesmerizing
He burn, he burn, hypnotizing, hypnotizing
[Verse 5]
Hopeful, wise, old worm in his temple
Digging in the dirt, staying simple
Married, married to the desert, to the desert
Climbing, climbing, up a ladder, up a ladder
[Verse 6]
Newborn hummingbird in the meadow
Suckling at the flow of its shadow
See the day that, fit your fist in, fit your fist in
It's never too late
I'd like to think so, I'd like to think so
[Verse 7]
Knife stuck in her paw, someone help her
Gather sticks and straw, and build a shelter
Don't you, don't you
Let her die, yeah, let her die, yeah
Don't let her, don't let
Let her die, yeah, let her die, yeah
