Lyrics Shanghai - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

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
