There she goes Being chased down the road To ruin her virginity in her hands Of every bird's broke her cocoon About to cry Underneath butterfly skies Knock her with the most weather Pasefy along the stream Trying to be part of a crowd Dream of holding hands A pegasus in their lap(A midget sits in their lap?) About to cry Underneath butterfly skies There she goes Being chased down the road To ruin her virginity in her hands Of every bird's broke her cocoon About to cry Underneath butterfly skies

You know the love I gave you Is slipping from your hands 'Cause I was born to wander Like the shifting of the sands They say that I did hurt you But they don't understand That I was born to wander Like the shifting of the sands They say that I will follow To where my heart commands For I was born to wander Like the shifting of the sands

Your eyes have grown tired of Hunting for the fox and the owl For smooth stones And a safe place to hide In the hills near your home Now you walk with bare feet through the wet sand And a boy sees you and comes running over And stands about forty seashells away Wanting to walk on water To turn you on But you don't pay any attention at all As the world rises and falls As the world rises and falls As the world rises and falls Now you have a woman's shape Thunderbolts in your fingertips He has his eyes pinned on you Be careful, he has whips and chains And he plays ancient games Over anyone standing in his way He can change the color of the sky If he wants to But its only magic used to him Cause you won't be easily taken Or he won't remember you at all As the world rises and falls As the world rises and falls As the world rises and falls I tried to tell you not to love him Strongly as you did You'll go out again someday But you won't forget him for a long time He tore the mask off your face And then put you down And made you want him More than anyone before And then he walked away And you don't hear from him at all
