If I could fly at the speed of light, I could get to Canis Major in five thousand years
butterflies and black and blue birds, I'll never be the same since I met you, girl
pennies thrown into a fountain, make a wish, blow out the candles, take a breath
God is troubling when you consider believers that would welcome the end of the world

Got a job, and it pays me
I want love more than I deserve
I read the paper, makes me crazy
gotta be a way to make it work, oh

Ashes, stardust, look at us, climbing out the mud
let's go round the block, we make the most before the jig is up
dreamers, big top, high wire, circus never stop
ashes, stardust, look at you crawling out the mud

I know that dying is scary to us, but everybody do it, one, two, three
on the sidewalk, the dandelion is reaching from a crack up to the sun
words can be a wicked tool for twisting truth, I wanna be true to you
blood and bones, black holes and stones, all those things pave the way for you and me

Got a job, and it pays me
want love more than I deserve
the headlines, they make me crazy
gotta be a way to make it work, oh

Ashes, stardust, look at us, crawling out the mud
let's go around the block, we make the most before the jig is up
campfire, high rise, we never did quite know where to stop
ashes, stardust, look at me, crawling out the mud

Butterflies and black and blue birds, I never be the same since I met you
if I could fly the speed of light, I could get to Betelgeuse in about six hundred years
butterflies and black and blue birds
