Astronautalis - Papillon lyrics

[Verse 1] You start to run There's a loner and a rebel, Dottie Some friends'll get hitched And others get hooked proper You, you'll never achieve either Fallin in love with dreams Relapse into reefer, yeah You ain't won and ain't lost Too light enough to drift along Too heavy to float off But this, this is just a good time Ya ain't a f**in' party if you do it every night You're just hip bones and modern day heartache Plotting your escape from the plains and towns Named for lost saints Small change, huntin' for the big bills Divorce the heels and just bullets for the big k** [?] field the [?] for laughter Cocaine has changed the dolls and fames to flappers Snow banks fade away and they flood the pasture Remains of the flames and the sins of past lives, yeah [Hook] Papillon Papillon Papillon One day we'll all be gone Papillon Papillon Papillon One day we'll all be gone [Verse 2] You start to run As a dreamer with a drug hobby Some friends will get hitched And others get hooked proper You, you'll never achieve either Plot against the odds and Backslide into even, yeah You ain't won and ain't lost Strong enough to stay clean Weak to f** off But this, this is just a good time It ain't a real escape ‘til you sever all the ties You're just simple, strivin' to be offbeat Searchin' for a zip-code Off a real small stage Present for your Tinder Lookin' for a dimepiece in a time A temple is the only nice place, yeah No encore, no applause Just a still in the sun before the snow will fall In the spring, there will come The reveal it all the graves And your rays and the sins of Fridays past [Hook] Papillon Papillon Papillon One day we'll all be gone Papillon Papillon Papillon One day we'll all be gone
