lyrics

caught up in my window with nowhere to go
i cracked it just a little and you came into my borrowed home
you landed on my arm
it felt just like a kiss on the cheek - you are so sleek
and wonderful
with diamonds trailing
you never waiver
i truly savor the time you spend on me
you bounce from wall to wall
always dancing in between
you are so mean

i like to watch you flutter
i like to watch you flutter
i like to watch you flutter
for a moment you were my dragonfly

through your chrome eyes you must see
so many of me
in a hexagonal nightmare
insecticidal love-affair
which one of me did you see dying
while you just idly flap your wings
you are so mean
i'd like to capture you and see you every day
but then your charm would only waste away
but i can't forget you
my arm is bare without you
resting on it gracefully, sucking on my sweat
and then you leave
you are so mean to me

i like to watch you flutter
i like to watch you flutter
i like to watch you flutter
for a moment you were my dragonfly

in that elastic moment
i felt like feeling was a fine thing to do
tonight i'm going to pray for wings
cause i'm feeling like i just might want to
fly away with you

i see now that you're done with me
go back the way you came
dragonfly, be gone from me
i'll never be the same
now i know it's not your nature to come on back
but you've always got a spot on my arm
there ain't no harm
in wishful thinking

dragonfly, dragonfly
hoping you happen upon my window again
but until then..

i like to watch you flutter
i like to watch you flutter
i like to watch you flutter
for a moment you were my dragonfly
