[Intro: Stu Mackenzie]
Bye-bye, Shanghai
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly

[Chorus: Stu Mackenzie]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Born again overnight
(Born again overnight)
Bright light's up high, grey smog all the time

[Verse 1: Ambrose Kenny-Smith]
Okay, let me trace my steps
Pour a drink, let's recap the sequence
One minute, you're swigging on a green tea
Next minute, floating on a pillow in a den
From there, it gets a little hazy
Like a camera out of focus, shaking
Slow motion in the club, free-falling
Through my seat, hit the floor transforming
Undergoing complete metamorphous
From a moth caterpillar to a chrysalis
Spinning in a silken house, like a spider spins a web (Born again overnight)
I'm a well-known insect

[Break: Stu Mackenzie]
(Born again overnight)
[Chorus: Stu Mackenzie]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Born again overnight
Born again overnight
Born again overnight
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly

[Post-Chorus: Stu Mackenzie]
Bye-bye, Shanghai
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly

[Drop]
Kick it

[Break: Stu Mackenzie]
Born again overnight

[Chorus: Stu Mackenzie]
Bye-bye, Shanghai, I've become a butterfly
Bye-bye, Shanghai, bye-bye, my life
Born again overnight
Born again overnight
Bright light's up high, grey smog all the time
