To The Whims Of A Butterfly—
Her car just breaks…on the interstate
And she doesn’t know whats’ wrong
Shes’ running late for a hard won “date”
And can’t find a signal on her phone
Her hairs’ gone nuts from the passing trucks
Theres’ not a bathroom one in sight
The gas gauge is frozen thunder starts rollin’
Her last cigarette is useless without a light###
She screams that shes’ been cheated
Pulls her hair and punches air
Nearly broken and defeated
She whispers ‘life is so unfair’
Lays it all down at karma’s feet
Hearts denied and her white lies
Or maybe Gods’ just being mean
And she forgets the butterflies###
With a tiny flap in China
A stirr so lightly to the wind
In a puff of exotic pollen
The chain reaction does begin
A sneeze in Indonesia
Parts from shakin’ hands shipped to Japan
A gas gauge built half-hearted
Is shipped away to a foreign land###
He picks up a girl in the pouring rain
Looking frayed with tear stained eyes
His future bride met right there and then
Thanks to the whims…of a butterfly
