i'm feeling very moses like

you think that i could lead you?

or humble, more like david

would you help me cause i need you?

or i'll be charismatic

with the power to persuade you



supposing i'm a saviour

or a drunkard, or your highness

you slither in these sheets

and then you ask me for forgiveness

i'll tell you parables of making love

and spreading kindness



flames rise like butterflies

been frightened by my stompin'

i'm laughing 'cause they don't know who i am

the philistines toss tangerines

'cause springtime is for dancing

in like a lion and out like a lamb



goliath sits and watches

tired of this investigation

so children grab your M-16s

and load your ammunition

i will work all night

rewrite the book of revelations



flames rise like butterflies

been frightened by my stompin'

i'm laughing 'cause they don't know who i am

the philistines toss tangerines

'cause springtime is for dancing

in like a lion and out like a lamb



now go and tune your guitars

and i'll meet you here tomorrow

grab that case of scotch

it's all the courage you can swallow

i'll burn for all your sins

but i'm expecting you to follow



flames rise like butterflies

been frightened by my stompin'

i'm laughing 'cause they don't know who i am

the philistines load magazines

'cause springtime is for dancing

in like a lion and out like a lamb
