Butterflies Drowned in Wine

Butterflies drowned in wine

I'm headed into town

Where up is up and down is down

None of this fumbling around

Phantom fingers straighten a phantom tie

I'm going to talk to some people there

Forget everything I'm told

In one ear and out the other

An eagle flies right through my mind

The shadow skims across the land

Some people add and some subtract

I love an expert I hate a hack

You've got to bust up a sidewalk

Sometimes

To get people to gather round

And I'm prepared to do whatever it takes

I'm prepared to do whatever it takes

For temporary brother sisterhood

Move the tables and the chairs aside

And give me some room

I'm going to show you something

You won't soon forget

Butterflies drowned in wine

Butterflies drowned in wine

I'm headed into town

Where up is up and down is down

None of this fumbling around
