JV All*Stars, The - Holding On lyrics

A Caterpillar crawled to me one day and said

"Oh what the hell goes on inside your swollen head?

I don't believe that you can see as much as I

Now close your eyes and tell me what do you spy?"

"I watched nine cats dance on the moon

A flamingo stalked into my room

It bowed its head to me and knelt

To reveal the cards it had dealt

An ace, three jacks, two queens, four kings

Then turned them into burning rings

The flames jumped out and chased four mice

Caught by their tails they turned to ice

A cloud appeared outside my door

And through the window saw four more

And on the back of each cloud sat

Two rainbow smiles in wizard's hats

They threw five clocks down on my bed

The chimes danced out on golden threads

And turned to footprints on my wall

Sequined tears began to fall"

The caterpillar gasped at me and said

"My god if that's what's going on inside your head

You can see so much more than I

I think it's time to turn into a butterfly."
