Butterflies in Disguise Lyrics

Danger is Over

Danger is over on a beautiful spring day
On a school bus, in the city, on a subway
Shells to crawl into, in the countryside
Sundays, holidays, vacation time

When the flash comes we know how to save ourselves
There are safe places, safe places to go
Thin cloth, newspaper, ask a school teacher
They know how to cover while the skies glow

Glass may be broken and it might fly through the air
Ooh, our valiant cub scouts ready to repair
Marks of the S sign making me feel cozy
Brighter than you’ve ever seen, all good and rosy

When the flash comes we know how to save ourselves
There are safe places, safe places to go
Thin cloth, newspaper, ask a school teacher
They know how to cover while the skies glow

When the flash comes we know how to save ourselves
There are safe places, safe places to go
Thin cloth, newspaper, ask a school teacher
They know how to cover while the skies glow

When the flash comes we know how to save ourselves
There are safe places, safe places to go
Thin cloth, newspaper, ask a school teacher
They know how to cover while the skies glow

Up in the Sky

Up in the sky
Small to my eyes
Are the puffy clouds
And the little mountains below

It’s time to relax
Take off has passed
Time to take a breath
Get some needed rest and let go

Hitting some bumps
Made my heart thump
Oh no

Are we going down, down, down

Ears want to pop
And heads won’t shut up
I just want some sleep
Let me have my peace

Before something goes wrong
The seatbelt signs on
Oh no

Are we going down, down, down

Ooh

Susie You’re an Angel

Well I was cruising through the afternoon
The sun hitting my face as my hair blew
Heading to town on my way
To pick up the girl I met yesterday

She had long purple hair and a ring through her nose
A colorful scheme, the scent of a rose
At the coffeeshop she told me her name
Susie, she said, now let’s play a game

Oh Susie, Susie
You make the bells in my heart ring
Wherever you go you must have two wings
Oh Susie, you’re an angel

I just made my way to the center of town
When I saw this crowd all gathered around
Susie was there dressed up like a queen
With a halo above illuminating

I couldn’t make out what the crowd was chanting
As I came closer, saw plenty of dancing
Pulled up my car and opened the door
Stepped out to meet Susie on the dance floor

Oh Susie, Susie
You light up my world and make it sing
Wherever you go you must have two wings
Oh Susie, you’re an angel

Yeah you must an angel, oh susie

Susie, Susie
You light up my world and make it sing
Wherever you go you must have two wings
Oh Susie, you’re an angel
Oh Susie, you’re an angel

Ah you must
Ah you must be an angel
Ooh you must be… an angel
Susie, you’re an angel

Escape This Paradigm

Stuck, stuck inside this nest
Where everything’s at rest
It's the same thing all the time
Afraid to speak your mind
And if you leave the box
They'll certainly throw rocks
But you’ve got to take a chance
If you want to hop this fence

Go set out to design
Escape this paradigm
Walls are just a crutch
And brittle to the touch (touch)

Now, you pushed your way outside
And fought against the tide
But there's nothing that you've won
The migration's just begun
By building a new nest
You've invited guests
Got to do it all again
Start another trend

Go set out to design
Escape this paradigm
Walls are just a crutch
Go set out to design
Escape this paradigm
Walls are just a crutch

Go set out to design
Escape this paradigm
Walls are just a crutch
And brittle to the touch

Hints of Wonder

Deep in the mountains
Way past the scratch built bridge
Under the canopyLight refracts medicinally
On we go in make believe

Years of play
Dreams and pictures
Old dogs, a young family
And a fashion sense left behind

This wonder
Hints of wonder
Let’s play here
In this wonder
This wonder, oh

Outback in the garden
Teleport to another state of mind
Tiny tracks laid down
Little trains hauling mysteries around

Oh this wonder
Hints of wonder
Let’s play here
In this wonder

Oh this wonder
Hints of wonder
Let’s play here
In this wonder
Let’s play here
In this wonder, oh

Don’t Pinch Me Now

I woke up sick one morning then I was okay
I thought I’d stay up but I fell asleep anyway
Had a vision where I saw all my old friend
We all hung out and played old Nintendo games

Catching fireflies and getting lost in cornfields
Playing kickball in the side yard felt so real
And then I woke up to a girl that was my friend
I looked around the room and then dosed off again

Don’t pinch me now, I’m on the go
I’m heading out to the swimming hole
Swirling time in my mind
Don’t dare pinch me now

Oh what a way to spend the rest of the day
Had a meeting at five o’clock
And I slept right through all that talk
My mind flew away, my bodies a rock
And I just made it to that special spot

Don’t pinch me now, I’m on the go
I’m heading out with my fishing pole
Swirling time in my mind
Don’t dare pinch me now

Don’t pinch me now, I’m on the go
I’m heading out to the swimming hole
Swirling time in my mind
Don’t dare pinch me now

Keep My Head

Look into these eyes
They’re covered with red cracks
No need for disguise
Sometimes I want the axe
But still I keep my head on my shoulders

My world is such a mess
Back and forth all day
Never getting rest
I’m withering away
But still I keep my head above water

I’m sinking in
The urge is getting stronger
And I’m struggling
To keep myself above for much longer

Look into these eyes
They’re covered with red cracks
Not much of a surprise
I’m feeling the impact
But still I keep my head
Oh, still I keep my head
Oh, still I keep my head on my shoulders
On my shoulders

Good Memories

I saw a face so sad so empty
Pushed down toward the ground so thoughtlessly
Eyes lay back inside a resting head
Not awake but not completely dead

As we divide and say goodbye
Good memories of you and me survive

Numb from head to toe, can’t feel a thing
Thickest skin in town, won’t even sting
Cold blood warms skin, not an easy war
Like a naked statue, hard to ignore

As we divide and say goodbye
Good memories of you and me survive

As we divide and say goodbye
Good memories of you and me

One in a Zillion

In an unlit room with the curtains hung
There’s a backpack filled with paintings of the sun
An endless high would be ignited if we could
Bring back pieces of dry firewood

What are we glued to now
What are we glued to now
What are we glued to now
What are we glued to now

An endless maze to fill up hours
Static noise dished out from a tour that keeps on growing
Relics of a cradlesong cutting through like a firebomb
Embers are glowing

What are we glued to now
What are we glued to now
What are we glued to now
What are we glued to now

This is one in a zillion
And I’m not going to let it slip away
What are we glued
This is one in a zillion
And I’m not going to let it slip away

Hah, feel the sunlight beaming on your toes
Hah, the smell of rain against the joys and woes

Hypnotized, floating in the clouds paralyzed
What’s new

Against the grain
Keep running against the grain
Against is sane
Keep running against the grain

Against the grain
Keep running against the grain
Against is sane (Keep on running)
Keep running against the grain

Through the golden days over short years
Against the grain
Through the longer years holding back tears
Against is sane (against the grain)
Through the joys and woes
