lyrics

MILKWEED

We're strolling down the street
and I'm so so tired
You say hey peter when will you stop snoring
Look around the butterflies are soaring
And before I know it

One swoops on by
Doing loops in the sky
I sigh and take a deep deep breathe in through my nose
reach up to the clouds and then down to my toes
I open my eyes
and to my surprise

I am just like the milkweed
fuzzy as a peach and green
I am just like the milkweed
butterflies believe

Now I'm waiting in the woods
With my toes in the ground
I drink water through my legs and eat sun through my lips
a couple caterpillars live in my armpits
And before I know it

One makes a cocoon
In the shape of a crescent moon
You swoon when you come by to see it hatch and say
Peter you helped a butterfly on its way
it flies to the clouds
and we're singing out

that I'm just like the milkweed
fuzzy as a peach and green
yeah I'm just like the milkweed
butterflies believe

Now the cold's common son
and I made a coccoon
Only this coccoon is full of little fluffy seeds
Each one could become a new Pete Moss milkweed
but before I go
I want you to know

you are just like the milkweed
juicy on the inside
you are just like the milkweed
taking in the sunlight
you are just like the milkweed
things grow in your armpits
you are just like the milkweed
here comes a butterfly kiss!

you are just like the milkweed
fuzzy as a peach and green
you are just like the milkweed
fuzzy as a peach and green
you are just like the milkweed
butterflies believe
