Deflect the Light (feat. The Flaming Lips)

Satan's mirror glasses Always deflect the light Of the rainbow charm Satan's mirror glasses Always deflect the light Of the rainbow charm When I was a young boy Playing with my brothers at the shallow bog We'd collect some insects And see if we could catch one of the singing frogs My brother held the dragonfly Just above the surface where the frogs had swam And then out of the water Jumped this fragile creature across the lily pad But then I caught it too hard And then it died in my hand Satan's mirror glasses Always deflect the light Of the rainbow charm Satan's mirror glasses Always deflect the light Of the rainbow charm Once I walked alone Silent through the valley of the Summer's land I came to the rainbow Dissolving from cement into a pile of sand Waiting there, a golden stone A secret shining message for all to see But there, inside the cobweb A struggling butterfly is trying to be free I grabbed it softly with both hands And then I let go Satan's mirror glasses Always deflect the light Satan's mirror glasses Always deflect the light Always deflect the light Always deflect the light Always deflect the light Always deflect the light
