Don't play along, don't bring me promises
Don't you be long, don't bring me down
I'm on the brink, the brink of a laugh or cry
The edge of a live or die
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Shame on the world - don't even ask me why
Shame on the world - shame as she flutters by
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Don't do too much, don't try to tell her
(Don't try to tell her anything)
Don't think too much, don't try to see
I'm on the edge of a mountain peak
Living in mystery... so...
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Shame on the world - don't even ask me why
Shame on the world - shame as she flutters by
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Yeah Yeah - Yeah Yeah
Don't you be long, don't bring me down
I'm on the brink, the brink of a laugh or cry
The edge of a live or die
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Shame on the world - don't even ask me why
Shame on the world - shame as she flutters by
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Don't do too much, don't try to tell her
(Don't try to tell her anything)
Don't think too much, don't try to see
I'm on the edge of a mountain peak
Living in mystery... so...
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Shame on the world - don't even ask me why
Shame on the world - shame as she flutters by
Shame on the world - shame on the b***erfly
Yeah Yeah - Yeah Yeah
