Butterfinger

Lyrics

[INTRO] Whistling wind, a broken lock, a morning that’s all wrong The world’s a clumsy stage, and the curtain’s drawn [VERSE 1] He opens the door into his face, a slap of cold surprise His shoes hit the floor, his mind in a daze, time slips outside He stumbles over the dog, the leash clattering on the tile The world spins like a record, it’s a rough, restless mile [CHORUS] He’s Butterfingers, flipping through the cracks of day The universe’s joke, in a slapstick ballet Every move a tumble, every step a slip—oh, what a fling Butterfingers, Butterfingers, the mischief that he brings [VERSE 2] He drops the tire onto his foot, a metallic sigh of fate The echo of a thunderclap, the beat that can’t wait He’s looking for the sky, but his eyes are caught in rain A bird, a plane—no, it’s a light pole, a silent, sudden pain [CHORUS] He’s Butterfingers, rolling through the rhythm of the wrong Each mishap’s a note in a song that goes along A laugh, a stumble, a face in a sudden fling Butterfingers, Butterfingers, he’s the king of this clinging [BRIDGE] The street lights flicker, he’s dancing with the street His laughter echoes, a rhythm so sweet The world spins in a whirl of clumsy grace He’s the heartbeat of this wild, offbeat space [HOOK] Butterfingers, butterfingers, His clumsy hands are the stars He keeps spinning, keeps falling, Yet he still breaks all the bars [CHORUS] He’s Butterfingers, the hero in the slapstick show Every tumble’s a triumph, every stumble’s a glow Life’s a comic strip, a wild, bright swing Butterfingers, Butterfingers, let the laughter ring [OUTRO] The sun dips low, the shadows stretch in line He closes the door, the day’s
