Watch me fly,

Like a rainbow in the sky

In black and white

You captured on your way

Chloroform and needles
C# F# G# F#
Pinning wings to your display
[Chorus]

You can’t see me,

My Siberian butter fly
[Verse 3]
G# D#m
Across this land,
C# G#
There are no nature scenes

In you biosphere,

If you touch my chitin
C# F# G# F# G#
Surely I will disappear.

[Bridge]
A# C#
You were chasing me through a dream,
F#
Origami and gabardine
F#
All the fields of my past are

Shiny glass and steel,
D# C#
Every Sunday the local men,
C#
Gather up at the barn and,
Fm
When the sun goes down the sky.
F#
Is filled with rainbow butterflies.
