Chinese Butterfly

In China when a butterfly flaps its colored wings
Modern physics tells us that this leads to other things
Like Minnesota snow storms or earthquakes in Peru
The tides in Honolulu bay or how he glaciers move

My ture love just left me, I search the reason why
My heart broke into pieces, was it a Chinese Butterfly?

It's acrazy, crazy idea, it's strange to think about
That this world's a closed compartmeny where nothing can get out
Where if you push or if you pull every cause has its effect
And if you trace it back enough, there's nothing you can't detect

So if I have to find a reason why I must sob and cry
I might as well say it's the fault of a Chinese Butterfly

It's like chain reaction, along the way it goes
One thing leads to another like agame of dominoes
A stone rolls down a hill someplace and you think "don't mean a thing"
But modern physics shows us that nothing's ever how it seems

So if that's the explanation for why I want to die
I guess I'll just accept that it was a Chinese Butterfly
