Truckstop Butterfly

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
truckstop butterfly
truckstop butterfly
