Scream of the Butterfly - Acid Bath
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok before i get to the music I am going to give my apologies to the people that love
band ...........I'm sorry.
I figured that because the bass line for this song is just so badass that it would be
better on guitar down 1/2 step. So what I did is this. I switched up instruments and gave
guitarist part to the bassist and the bass part to the guitarist. Lyrics same and Drums same.
This could be a very good new take on an already great song so i hope that you enjoy it
please level with me and tell me what you think about the transition.
I will make the Bass Version after this is made
Oh and i have also simplified the song a little bit.

-LYRICS-
A creature made of sunshine her eye's where like the sky
Rabbit howls like something old as we twist her lullaby.
The scalpel shines in gods sunshine, the street lights whisper pain
Down here near the poison stream our god has gone insane.
She smells like a child with flowers in her hair
With blood on her hands, into the sun she stares, she feels it die, I heard her cry.
She smells like a child with flowers in her hair
With blood on her hands, into the sun she stares, she feels it die, I heard her cry
I like the scream of the butterfly
Sunshine, the house in flames she loves it when she gets it but its never felt the same
Surgery in the house of dissection, when your candle burns out ill resurrect you
She runs through the fields of daisies, yea its just a shame that they eat their own babies
Who cares cause the air is free, when you get there will you kiss the dead for me?
There’s blood on the moon and the summer is cold
There’s love in the room, but baby that’s getting old
There’s blood on my face sitting on a dead shore
A highway of emptiness and I’m getting board.
There’s blood on the moon as we plan our escape
The goddess in bloom, handcuffed and raped
There’s blood in the bathtub, baby murder the king
There’s blood on the moon, there’s blood on just about everything
Sunshine, the house in flames she loves it when she gets it but its never felt the same
Surgery in the house of dissection, when your candle burns out ill resurrect you
She runs through the fields of daisies, yea its just a shame that they eat their own babies
Who cares cause the air is free, when you get there will you kiss the dead for me?
Something cold is forced inside, a tear spills down her cheek,
Still born songs of a dead dreamer , yea hymns of the needle freak,
With sunlight in her hair she smiles like she don’t care her dreams are liquid blue,
I cut myself again and again to remind myself of you.
Who smiles like a child with flowers in her hair,
With blood on her hands into the sun she stares, she feels it die, I herd her cry.
She smells like a child with flowers in her hair
With blood on her hands into the sun she stares, she feels it die, I herd her cry.
I like the scream of the butterfly
I like the scream of the butterfly, yea.
I met an angel with a sawed off shotgun working for the F.B.I drop some acid kill the
then well hit the road.
I like the scream of the butterfly,
I like the scream of the butterfly yea yeah
