(Lyrics by Declan Murray | Music

Narayan
On the train you see an image pass by your eyes
A woman combing her long brown hair
A child starting to cry
But it shoots right past the window
And out of your mind
Leaving just a brief impression
As it passes on by
There was something that I saw you said
Can you pull on the cord
It might be against the law you read
But you've just got to see more
Chorus:
So let me nail down this b***erfly
Even if it kills it to try
Cause I'm not buying your alibi
Cause it's paler than the whitest lie
At the end of the evening
When the band's gone to bed
And the last call for alcohol has
sailed over your head
And a hundred conversations
Screech to an end
And a play for a lover is
just another new friend
I was in the middle of a joke I said
Can I punch out the line
I was working on a speech I said
That might have changed your mind
(Chorus)
