 It happened  again last night
 It happened  again alright
Honey  it makes me want  to cry
 Too late I  fell out of bed
Hit  the ceiling instead
 I'd turned into  a butterfly
God  didn't spend much time
This  was a hit and run
Clearly  the wings were oversized
 In all, well  nothing was right
Still  it was quite a sight
 I'd turned into  a butterfly
 But the last  time I looked  in a mirror
 It looked  like it was going  to be fine
 And the last  time I looked  in the mirror
 It looked  like it was going  to be fine
 sorry I couldnt work this out)
Baby  I don't know why
I  was the average guy
And  I was almost satisfied
 To be just  one in the crowd
Not  too tall or too loud
 I turned into  a butterfly
Tired  but always clean
Staying  away from dreams
So  I lie sleepless by  your side  most nights
A  twitch in my back
Gently  life would attack
 I'd turned into  a butterfly
 But the last  time I looked  in a mirror
 It looked  like it was going  to be fine
 And the last  time I looked  in the mirror
 It looked  like it was going  to be fine
Once  past the drowning panic
And  the longing  to fly
 Whatever  I see  in the mirror
 I'm sure  that it's going  to be fine
