Lady Butterfly Red

Lyrics

[Chorus] Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge? Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? Let us both fly away from the regrets Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? So let us both fly away from the regrets [Verse 1] One night on my long walk home Passed by a house, neighborhood unknown Could hear glass being thrown and yells, something overwhelming Stepped forward on a dim lit trail Then I opened the door People shouting, think I heard her voice before She had a long red dress with a slit in her chest Cigarette between fingers, relieving the stress I guess Her and spouse going at it She calling him a lowlife, he calling her an addict Spending all her money on them cancer sticks And every dime he gets he gambles it Our eyes connect, she takes a puff and states "Our marriage in shambles, kid" Prime example, kid Slid her hands on his back and pushed him out the door Saying, "I ain't puttin' up with your ish anymore" "I ain't puttin' up with your ish anymore" [Chorus] Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge? Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? Let us both fly away from the regrets Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? So let us both fly away from the regrets [Verse 2] Face to face, a frozen scene Her eyes had no hope, broken dreams Tears stream down her face with a smile She said, "I ain't cried in a while" In spite of circumstances, she dances Blows me a kiss, her secondary chances of love Unsure if her heart's in the right place I take a second to think, at a polite pace Angelic garments, devil red lipstick So infatuating, hard to resist it Accepted destiny, partially heavenly A butterfly trapped in a cocoon We carefully lock hands Ran out the door, leaving behind our planet of doom As we fly to the moon Elevating, [?] a jazz tune As we fly to the moon Fly to the moon Fly to the moon [Chorus] Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge? Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? Let us both fly away from the regrets Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? So let us both fly away from the regrets Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge? Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? So let us both fly away from the regrets Lady butterfly red, can I help you off of the ledge Can I wipe away any tear that you shed? So let us both fly away from the regrets
