Don't play along, don't bring me promises

Don't you be long, don't bring me down

I'm on the brink, the brink of a laugh or cry

The edge of a live or die



Shame on the world - shame on the butterfly

Shame on the world - don't even ask me why

Shame on the world - shame as she flutters by

Shame on the world - shame on the butterfly



Don't do too much, don't try to tell her

(Don't try to tell her anything)

Don't think too much, don't try to see

I'm on the edge of a mountain peak

Living in mystery... so...



Shame on the world - shame on the butterfly

Shame on the world - don't even ask me why

Shame on the world - shame as she flutters by

Shame on the world - shame on the butterfly



Yeah Yeah - Yeah Yeah
