Shanghai - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

Lyrics by：Stuart Mackenzie/Ambrose Kenny-Smith

Composed by：Stuart Mackenzie/Ambrose Kenny-Smith

Bye-bye Shanghai I've become a butterfly

Born again overnight

Bye-bye Shanghai bye-bye my life

Born again overnight

Bright light's up high dark thoughts in my mind

Born again overnight

Bright light's up high grey smog all the time

Born again overnight

Bye-bye Shanghai I've become a butterfly

Born again overnight

Okay let me trace my steps

Pour a drink let's recap the sequence

One minute you're swigging on a green tea

Next minute floating on a pillow in a den

From there it 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 light's up high dark thoughts in my mind

Born again overnight

Bright light's 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 people's 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-body experience

You're thriving in this environment

Come find me on almost every continent

Cold-blooded but I can't 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

Bye-bye Shanghai I've become a butterfly

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
