lyrics

When I was only 13
a chauffer offered me a ride in a limousine
And we drove to a field to play
it was a remarkable day
he chased me and I chased him
We ran and we fell and we ran again
Till we came to his house and he chased me in

He showed me a revolver and a kimono from japan
Threw me on the bed holding both my hands
his long womans hair fell into my lap
he started licking my stomach
as he pulled down my pants
Told me his name was madame butterfly
then he trembled as he sucked me goodbye
gave me the revolver and said kill the butterfly
so I killed the butterfly
