The mask is pulled over
tear stained eyes,
don't act so surprised,
she's become all you've ever wanted!

Oh man, you reminded me of Floyd and the Queen of Hearts all wrapped up as one--"look mommy, up in the sky"...a butterfly---OFF WITH HER WINGS!
It was quite the comical visual, I only wish you could have seen it!!!
(everything seems to remind me of a song!
favorite song off that record, FOR SURE
do you know that song, Anna Begins from Counting Crows? There's another one called Butterfly from the Dixie Chix... some dude wrote it, so the genders don't mix, but it's still cool to hear Chix singing 'bout their wives... er, um... so to speak
but I'm not a big Counting Crows fan, I have to say. I've heard a few songs and just can't get past the singer's whiny voice!!!
I wouldn't mind checking out the Chix tune, I've yet to hear it.
But all this talk of butterflies and lightning bugs has me thinking of some of the most amazing lyrics I've had the pleasure of hearing! I'm gonna paste the words and suggest that everyone buy Ziggy Marley's album, Dragonfly.
Here's the title track:
Dragonfly
Everybody's worried about time
but i just keep that shit off my mind
people living on twenty four hour clocks
but we're on a ride that never stops
hey mister bee the world change but you remain the same
and i wonder how you'll survive with the environment going down the drain
hey miss dragonfly i see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
you must be wondering what type of creature am i
a dog looked at me and said ziggy why can't we trust man
puss and me get together why can't you all just understand
an old tree stood there silently listening to every word we said
as a tear fell he cried what type of creature is man
i said hey mister tree the world change but you remain the same
and i wonder how you survive with the environment going down the drain
hey miss butterfly I see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
you must be wondering what kind of creature am i
you must be wondering what kind of creature am i
everybody's worried about time
but i just keep that shit off my mind
people living on twenty four hour clocks
but we're on a ride yes we're on a ride we're on a ride that never stops
hey mister bee the world change but you remain the same
and i hope you'll survive with the environment going down the drain
hey miss butterfly i see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
you must be wondering what type of creature am i
you must be wondering what type of creature is man
Man, what a song! I just love it!
Maybe I'll give the Crows another chance *tries to stop thinking caaw-caaw-caaw and accept that they may have some good lyrics*
i have dialed up this Marley album, though...
it's really good! lovin' the Shalom Salaam song
