Intro:
Amadd9 | D6sus2/A
The butterfly sailed on the breeze
su
Past a field of barbed wire trees
Where golden dragons chased around
Pampered poppies on the ground
Two silver trout sat way on high
And watched a royal samurai
Plant two black orchids in a box
And strap it to a laughing fox
su
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
su
He gave it to a blue baboon
su
Who filled it full of virgin snow
And watched it in the afterglow
The toad stoon in his ballet shoes
ss4
Teaching sixteen kangaroos
How to skip across a lake
They found it hard to stay awake
A pharaoh played a merry tune
And watched nine cats dance on the moon
I didn't know what all this meant
I didn't know why I was sent.
I threw five clocks down on my bed
The chimes danced out on golden threads
And turned to footprints on my wall
Sequined tears began to fall
