about

It was once a one minute tiny little acoustic song about an ex. Now it's a two and a half minute song about fooling around with a married woman. Yeah, that's a logical step.

lyrics

I mosey my toeses down Eramosa to see his mariposa,
I ought to break this off but we're getting much closer
Catching his mariposa.

So I'll sneak in through the back door
He won't get off work `til ten past four.

I really shouldn't bother but she's stunningly gorgeous
And it warrants a chorus.
She's embezzled money but I selfishly chose her
Sweetness, my mariposa.

My skinned up knees are red and sore
But I'll beg love forever more.

Fuck with the hive and the swarm will overcome
I convulse from social ignorance
I'm a snake without tact
I'm a diamond ring cracked
I'm a shattered family portrait that sits at his office desk.

I mosey my toeses down Eramosa to see his mariposa
It's just about enough stress to make me lacrimosa
Still she's my mariposa.

Once a 'have-not', now a connoisseur of 'shouldn't-wants', 'shouldn't-haves', and 'brother what is wrong with you'?
All my confidantes think I've dug too deep but there's no one that I'd rather be buried with than her

So I'll find true love at the core
Of this forbidden fruit so torn
This Helen sent my ship to war
But I'll pray love forever more.
