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
