Butterflies drowned in wine   I'm headed into town   Where up is up and down is down   None of this fumbling around      Oh, phantom fingers straighten a phantom tie   I'm going to talk to some people there   Forget everything I'm told   In one ear and out the other      An eagle flies right through my mind   The shadow skims across the land      Some people add and some subtract   I love an expert, I hate a hack   You've got to bust up a sidewalk sometimes   To get people to gather 'round   And I'm prepared to do whatever it takes   For temporary sister-brotherhood   For temporary brother-sisterhood      Move the tables and the chairs aside   And give me some room   I'm going to show you something   You won't soon forget      Butterflies drowned in wine   Butterflies drowned in wine      I'm headed into town   Where up is up and down is down   None of this fumbling around
