about

A 'live' in the studio (one vocal/guitar take with lead guitar overdub) song perhaps to be re-released on the next record. Or not.

lyrics

Mariposa, your name is suspicious enough
Like your childhood stories
Did you make it up?
Yous say you were born in Ponce Puerto Rico
Others have said Culiacan Mexico

Mariposa, i think that we've done enough
My eyes are closing - and your dropping stuff
That cigarette is burning a hole in the floor
I try to leave but fall short of the door

I came to you an angry young man
With a chip on my shoulder and grandiose plans
My head on your chest, your black hair in my eyes
Time floated away with the rest of my life

Mariposa, I think we've done enough
Your slurring your words and I can't stand up
My arms are sore, the bed sheets are stained (and)
You spent my rent on that poison again

My father never raised me to quit
if there's an exception then babe you are it
Mariposa, you know i love you so
But tonight's the night I'm letting you go

But tonight....Let's get high...
