"Butterfly (AKA So Much Wine)" lyrics

"Butterfly (AKA So Much Wine)"

Had nothing to say on Christmas Day when you threw all your clothes in the snow
Burned your hair, knocked over the chair, I tried to stay out of your way
When you fell asleep with blood on your teeth, I got into my car and drove away

Listen to me butterfly, there's only so much wine you can drink, in one life
It will never be enough, to save you from, the bottom of your glass

Where the highway starts, I parked my car, got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors died, shot across the sky, I thought about your sad shinin' eyes
I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rose, you were still passed out on the floor

Listen to me butterfly, there's only so much wine you can drink, in one life
It will never be enough, to save you from, the bottom of your glass
