Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
Bye bye my life.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Dark thoughts in my mind.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Grey smog all the time.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.

Ok, let me my trace my steps.
Pour a drink lets recap the sequence.
One minute, you’re swigging on a green tea, next minute, floating on a pillow in a den.
From there gets a little hazy, like a camera out of focus shaking.
Slow motion in the club free-falling through my seat, hit the floor transforming.
Undergoing complete metamorphous from a moth caterpillar to chrysalis.
Spinning in a silken house like a spider spins a web.
I’m a well known insect.

Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
Bye bye my life.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Dark thoughts in my mind.
Born-again overnight.
Bright lights up high.
Grey smog all the time.
Born-again overnight.
Bye bye Shanghai.
I’ve become a butterfly.
Born-again overnight.

Flying through the Yu garden to the Peoples square.
That’s where you find your happiness
With a little too much Szechuan in the pot sending sensational content.
Neck stuck from looking up at the high rise buildings trying to caress.
Enlightenment through an out of boy experience
You’re thriving in this environment.
Come find me on almost every continent
Coldblooded but I cant stand the antarctic.
Guess I’ve been born again overnight.

Bye bye Shanghai
I’ve become a butterfly Born-again overnight...
Bye bye Shanghai
I’ve become a butterfly Born-again overnight...
