We've been to the top
We've been to the bottom
We've known everything and forgotten yeah
You've kicked me around
You've wrapped me in cotton
You've carried our load and you shot them yeah
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
We've argued by the baggage claim
We've accepted and we've laid blame
We've drunk sanctive in monsoon away
We felt separate felt the same
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
We've shared joy and we've shared pain
We've shared guilt and we've shared shame
We've bought into stupid games
We've freed each other and we've laid claim
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
Yes the butterflies are still there
Oh yes the butterflies are still there
'cause we came from the same cocoon
