butterflies are for babies

lyrics

I should have settled for a stupid girl
but instead i fell for you
i shoulda settled for a stupid girl
nobody cares what dumb girls do
if you come back i swear i'll kiss your ass
i'll kiss that ass til it turns blue
i shoulda settled for a stupid girl
but instead i feel for you

why'd you go away and make me wait too long
you know my bad dreams all come true
and sugar and spice and butterflies are for babies
nothing can make me strong enough for you

don't want some overgrown girl in pig-tails
who'll never dress her age
she just got into bowie and she can't hold her drink
every picture tells a story
but her tattoos are so boring
you can't call it scoring
you aren't winning anything.
there's a shoulder there to cry on, but it's bony and it's cold
you put up cause they put out cause they're all just animals
and you put up cause they put out cause you're still an animal
it's easier than trying to take care of anyone.

about

Roy Ivy Butte, montana

Drinking songs and sing-alongs: that's Roy Ivy's specialty .If you haven't seen him dancing and sloshing about Butte, America, you may have met him in his past lives as a Chicago troubadour. Or maybe you met him in Dallas, where he ran The Tah-Dahs off a cliff, and stupidly quit The Polyphonic Spree before they toured with Bowie.

New songs coming by the end of 2023.
