From the recording Medieval Electric
Lyrics
Scolding Butterflies
It feels like yesterday her world was turned around
Not long ago she was the Princess of this town
Chemicals and plastic friends can trigger quick decay
A memory that’s many miles away
Running thru the yard, she’s always scolding butterflies
Life can be so hard, without some understanding
Dancing through the garden she’s forgotten all the hurt
A Princess pirouette sinks in the dirt
Her smiling eyes contagious to everyone she’d see
Words spilled out like melodies and loving poetry
Now she’s diabolical and faces all turn down
Her senseless ranting echoes thru the town
Running thru the yard, she’s always scolding butterflies
Life can be so hard, without some understanding
Dancing through the garden she’s forgotten all the hurt
A Princess pirouette sinks in the dirt
Inside Outside Upside Down
Inside Outside Upside Down
Butterflies are taunting, twisting, stealing every moment
Coloring inside the lines she’d rather see in gray
Shouting out does zero it just toys with her emotion
All the pretty colors and all she sees is red
Inside Outside Upside Down
Inside Outside Upside Down
Running thru the yard, she’s always scolding butterflies
Life can be so hard, without some understanding
Dancing through the garden she’s forgotten all the hurt
A Princess pirouette sinks in the dirt
