Butterflies Upside Down
© Sharlene Ayestaran / Phantom Roc Music Co. (ASCAP) 1997

There?s a cloud that opens up to a world
That is on the ground
In this world the lady bugs are blue
The grass is clear, through and through
Butterflies upside down
Their wings of gold nearly touch the ground
Walk by the cherries that are gray
Turn at the purple tree
In this world of fantasy
Find a key on the red umbrella tree left there by me
Open the way to the gardens of marshmallows of yellow
Butterflies upside down
And the birds that kiss you on your crown
Unzip the hill of logic
That brings your thoughts on in
As you wipe your mouth with ecstasy
As you get on the train of sin
Time is now to journey back
To the turquoise skies of blue
And hug the life that leads you through
Of gothic black and blue
[instrumental bridge]
And give the key to uncertain minds
That frown upon tomorrow
So they will smile once again
And toss away their sorrow
Butterflies upside down
In the world of dreams
With orange dates of summer time
And magenta gates and streams
They too will leave the key
As I once found on the red umbrella tree
The world will smile once again
As they taste the scent of mellow
Butterflies upside down
Butterflies upside down
Butterflies upside down
