Truckstop Butterfly - The Presidents Of The United States Of America

Truckstop butterfly

Covered in gasoline

Truckstop butterfly

Kiss you till you’re clean

Me and a man with a mohawk on his head

Found a dirty butterfly half dead

Rainbow of shiny oil slick and stuck on wing

Helpless in a puddle muddy thing

7−11 cherry soda and a pie

30 ton steel grey cloud

And the sky is dark and dripping

Though we stop and wonder why

You’re running late but what a great alibi

Truckstop butterfly

Covered in gasoline

Truckstop butterfly

Kiss you till you’re clean

(get gone!)

Far out east in deserts there’s a vein of inky gold

Here out west you wear it like a coat

Me and the man with a mohawk watch you go

Folllow sun and leave the melting snow

Man, how I miss you

Truckstop butterfly

Fly so I can’t see you

Truckstop butterfly

I hope you made it, and you didn’t die

Still, I do miss you

Truckstop butterfly
