Butterfly Kisses

 
Sunshiny meadows
Dragonfly wings
Ride on a sparrow
She's bathing in bleach

 
Wide-eyed and blinded
Peaceful; naive
Rose-colored glasses
She's bathing in bleach

 
Everywhere's safe
Everything's fair
Everyone loves her
She's bathing in bleach

 
Miles of pansies
Dandelion wreaths
Butterfly kisses
She's bathing in bleach

 
Harps and halos
White feathered wings
Dreaming of heaven
She's bathing in bleach
