Lyrics

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, 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 a 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 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
