I know that this should be filed under Handsome Family, but this is how Jeff
Tweedy plays this song solo... Enjoy!
VERSE 1
I had nothing to say on Christmas day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you knocked over chairs and burnt you hair
I just tried to stay out of your way
When you fell asleep with blood on your teeth
I got in my car and drove away
CHORUS
Listen to me butterfly
There s only so much wine
You can drink in one life
And it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
VERSE 2
Where the state highway starts I stopped my car
I got out and stared up at the stars
As meteors died and shot across the sky
I thought of your sad shining eyes
When the sun finally rose I went back for my clothes
But you were still passed out on the floor
CHORUS
Listen to me butterfly
There s only so much wine
You can drink in one life
And it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
