Yesterday I went outside With my Mama's mason jar Caught a lovely butterfly
When I woke up today Looked in on my fairy pet She had withered all away
No more sighing in her breast I'm sorry for what I did I did what my body told me to I didn't mean to do you harm Every time I pin down What I think I want, it slips away There it goes slips away
Smell you on my hands for days I can't wash away your scent If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
I guess you're as real as me Baby, I can live with that Baby, I need fantasy
Life of chasin' butterfly I'm sorry for what I did I did what my body told me to I didn't mean to do you harm Every time I pin down What I think I want, it slips away There it goes slips away
I told you I would return When the robin makes his nest I ain't ever comin' back
