Verse 1
A        Em 
Watch me fly, 
       D              A 
Like a rainbow in the sky 
                 Em            D 
Winter comes and renders everything

In black and white

You captured on your way

Chloroform and needles 
        D        G       A     G 
Pinning wings to your display 
 
Chorus

Verse 3
A           Em 
Across this land,

There are no nature scenes 
            Em                D     G       A 
Instead you drill and pillage everything of beauty. 
 
Verse 4
A           Em 
In you biosphere, 
    D                  A

If you touch my chitin

Surely I will disappear.

B                             D 
You were chasing me through a dream,

Origami and gabardine

All the fields of my past are 
F#m 
Shiny glass and steel,

Every Sunday the local men,

Gather up at the barn and,

When the sun goes down the sky. 
   G 
Is filled with rainbow butterflies.
