Lyrics

Watch as a butterfly alights on your windowsill
A flash of its colors, then takes to the sky
Watch as a raindrop, it falls on your windowsill
Splash of its drops, then it takes to the sky

Ooh, lepidoptera rain
Falls and it flows, and then flies away
To make weather patterns of all living things
In oxygen bodies, on hydrogen wings
In oxygen bodies, on hydrogen wings

Watch as the butterflies swirl into movement
Their mingling and merging of shapes as they fly
Now they're a songbird, and now they're a rainforest
Now they're the forms of two lovers entwined

Ooh, lepidoptera rain
Falls and it flows, and then flies away
Through stormclouds and grasslands and flowers in spring
In oxygen bodies, on hydrogen wings
In oxygen bodies, on hydrogen wings

The flux and the flow and
The waves and the cycles
They visit and vanish, then
Visit again
You're not alone, my friend
You're full of butterflies
We're all one storm system
The weather of life

Ooh, lepidoptera rain
Falls and it flows, and then flies away
We're oceans and star-stuff and hearts as they beat
Our oxygen bodies, our hydrogen wings
Our oxygen bodies, our hydrogen wings

I will wash over you and wash away
I will wash over you and wash away
I will wash over you and wash away
