James Hetfield - Iced Honey lyrics

[Verse 1] You can't put a bu*terfly in a jar If the effort's too high no matter who you are You can't catch the moon, or the sun or the stars It doesn't matter who you are Iced honey Now me I have tried a million tricks To make life cold and make it stick Not running heat that flames then out But the proud piece of ice that always floats Iced honey [Verse 2] If I can't trap a bu*terfly or a bee If I can't keep my heart where I want it to be If no matter how much soul and heart I put to the wood If a flaming heart is not that good Iced honey If you can't put a bu*terfly in a jar If violence mars your final hour If you make others feel like jam Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb [Verse 3] If it's all mixed up and you cannot shout And your oxygen starts to run out If your final gasp has the recipe wrong And instead of hello you say so long If your energy starts to leak out And people wonder what you are all about A heartbreaker with an unattached heart The story of love gives them all a start [Verse 4] And me, I have always been this way Not by choice, just this way I can't put my honey pot in a jar Or a heart or a fist of some young boy If you can't put a bu*terfly in a jar No wonder no need to wonder where you are It might seem like Hell, the river Styx Your affection never sticks [Verse 5] No matter what you say, no matter what you do A bu*terfly heart flies right past you There is nothing to say, nothing to do See if the ice will melt for you Iced honey
