All the things All the things she gave me All the things All the things she gave me I wrapped them up In a big brown box Tied it with ribbon Drove to the docks Checked my time By the old town clock All the things... I saw the watchman He was blowing into Cupped hands As he walked to the car He said "Where do you think You're drivin' to, Son? All good folks are in bed And a day's work is done" I said "I'm just looking for Someplace to burn All the things All the things that she gave me... All the things that she gave me Where do I put them? Where can I hide them Where I won't have to see them?" It's dark as hell here This city's grown cold The devil's in drag Playing poker with souls The lots are all empty The last man is out The moon's made of cheese And God is a boy scout When I go to sleep I'll be dreaming about All the things... Then I'll dream about churches With great tall spires Cathedrals and candles Chimneys and choirs I'll dream about THAT place Where I set fire All the things All the things that she...

You've got the best of both worlds You're the kind of girl who can take down a man, And lift him back up again You are strong but you're needy, Humble but you're greedy Based on your body language, Your shouted cursive I've been reading Your style is quite selective, Though your mind is rather reckless Well I guess it just suggests That this is just what happiness is And what a beautiful mess this is Well it's like picking up trash in dresses Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write Kind of turn themselves into knives And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear 'Cause here we are, here we are Although you are biased I love your advice Your comebacks they're quick And probably have to do with your insecurities There's no shame in being crazy, Depending on how you take these Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging And what a beautiful mess this is It's like, picking up trash in dresses Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say Kind of turn themselves into blades Kind and courteous is a life I've heard But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt Oh dear, cause here we are, Here we are Here we are Here we are, Here we are... Here we are, We're still here What a beautiful mess this is It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes And through timeless words And priceless pictures We'll fly like birds Not of this earth And tides they turn And hearts disfigure But that's no concern When we're wounded together And we've torn our dresses And stained our shirts But it's nice today Oh the wait was so worth it

Taking a moment just imagining that I'm dancing with you I'm your pole and all you're wearing is your shoes You've got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you And you have your own engaging style, you've got the knack to vivify And you make my slacks a little tight, you may unfasten them if you like That's if you crash and spend the night But you don't bode, you don't pay, you got everything you need Especially me, sister you've got it all You make the call to make my day In your message say my name Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all Curl your upper lip up and let me look around Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down And bend your back and ask your hips if I can touch Well they're the perfect jumping up point Getting closer to your butterfly You float on by Oh kiss me with your eyelashes tonight Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine And let's mood the lights and finally make it right But you don't bode and you don't pay, you got everything you need Especially me, sister you've got it all You make the call to make my day In your message say my name Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all Don't I need to see you pull your knee socks up Let me feel you upside down, slide in, slide out Slide over here, climb into my mouth now Butterfly Well you landed on my mind Damn right you, landed on my ear and then you crawled inside And now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes I wanna fly with you But I don't want to lie to you But I can't recall a better day Sun coming to shine on the occasion You're an open-minded lady, you've got it all You've got it all to make my day In your message say my name Your talk is all the talk, sister you've got it all You know that fortune favors the brave But let me get paid while I make you breakfast The rest is up to you, you makes the call You make the call to make my day In your message say my name It's you who's got it all I can't recall a better day Sun coming to shine on the occasion You're a sophisticated lady, you've got it all You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all Butterfly, baby, you've got it all
