Flaming Lips

Butterfly, How Long It Takes to Die

If you've ever really seen the sun rise

You will see how many times it tries

If you've ever really seen the sun set

You will see how long it takes to die.

You can see the butterfly has landed

Landed on your prison plates, you’re out

You can feel it's trouble making a teardrop

You will see how long it takes to fly

You can see the universe beginning

Making all the sun and the sky

You can see the universe is ending

Making love darker than the night
