Dog & Butterfly

I just found out
It's been too long now
The word is out
Time before didn't they take us hook and punker?
Their "jive alive" lines
They were funk
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
We all know better but we just might

Pullin' this off it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'
Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah

You never know, behind the lines
Who's gonna show
Scandal high's been buzzin' through the mayhem
Tonight the word, we heard is
It might be them.
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
They all know better, but we just might

Pullin this off, it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'

Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx yeah, yeah
Who's who?
Who's who?
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah, yeah
Who's who?
Who's who?

There i was with the old man
Stranded again so off i'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what i need
He looked at me and smiled
Said "no, no, no, no, no child.

See the dog and butterfly. up in the
Air he like to fly." dog and butterfly
Below she had to try. she roll back down
To the warm soft ground laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Well i stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers
Stealing your fires. the message hit my mind
Only words that i could find
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're getting older the world's getting colder
For the life of me i don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide
We're balanced together ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
No begging to go back where i'm free
Feels like i'm through
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft
Ground with a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly

Quite some time, i been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances
I was a pris'ner of doubt.
I knocked down the wailin' wall
Ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune; deal me in

Comin' straight on for you. you made my mind.
Now i'm stronger. now i'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you.

Now i know i got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through
With you, my friend
I'll take my chances on you again and again

Comin' straight on for you. you made my mind
Now i'm stronger. now i'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you

No wind when i took the watch
My ship was still and waitin'
I lay on that mirrored sky
A restless sail or waitin'
I closed my eyes said the
Words of will for the gentle
Breathin' that moves the seas
Make my sails fill

Whisper waves cloud the glass
Awake at last like a lover
It rushed around the talkin' sweet
Roll over, roll over, roll over
And in my ear he blew his name
It sound so strange but i heard it plain
Mistral mistral wind

I have always held the wheel but
I let the wind steal my power
Spin me 'round lose my course
Nights run be like hours
Well, it would show me the way
To the deepest mountains
Too high and beautiful to be
Mistral, mistral wind

All the hours on the watch
I wait for that breeze to move me
And blow me back to that place
Magic space all through me
And i sigh your name
Across the empty water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral,
Mistral, mistral
