I had nothing to say on Christmas day When you threw all your clothes in the snow When you burnt your hair, and you knocked over chairs I just tried to stay out of your way But when you fell asleep with blood on your teeth I just got in my car and drove away Listen to me, butterfly You know there's only so much wine ♪ Where the state highway starts, I stop my car I get out to stare up at the stars And as meteors died and shot across the sky I just thought about your sad, shining eyes When I went back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose Oh, but you were still passed out on the lawn Listen to me, butterfly You know there's only so much wine Listen to me, butterfly You know there's only so much wine
