Peach you are so sweet to me I always knew I'd see the day When all the things you said to me Would come up just when I need them I saw it in your eyes, butterfly Oh I saw it in your eyes butterfly And when I finally see you again I will greet you like a friend Cause I know you're out there somewhere Yes, this genetic code Oh it's lasted us so long I can feel the sameness In your eyes. Oh I see it in your eyes butterfly Yeah I see it in your eyes butterfly Sing to me sweetly Come away with all The all is in you Words are like asylum They can let me go So let me go Sing to me madly Of the one who said gladly I wont let you Go So scream, Butterfly Butterfly So scream, Butterfly Butterfly So scream

Butterfly down south This way I got started This side the water says oh I have to warn them This side the water says oh I have to join them And I wonder By the core what your love'd be like When I wander I might fall Diving under We're the ones who keep demons away And now I cannot afford to fall Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Among the rocks a lighthouse is the only truth This side the water says oh I better leave them And I wonder By the core what your love'd be like When I wander I might fall Diving under We're the ones who keep demons away and now I cannot afford to fall Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out Dream of the Underworld I will dig you out

High Tide 03:33
When you hold me underwater Yeah you are my breath mi amor Up and down and in and out in foam Tide upon my shore Oh let’s assume that all of your battleships Sank to the nauticore Oh let’s assume that every abandoned ship Came back up for more I’m on TV now I’m buying out my name You can see me now I’m leaking out my frame High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again Yeah you do me again Oh let’s assume that all your abandoned ships sank to my nauticore. I’m a sea thing now I’m trying out my name High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again Yeah you do me again Mix the island Shake my drink Caught my eye And made me think I could live on nothing but You you you you and The moon And between two poles Whales search for gold Keep on loving you Til I-I-I I abandon time High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again High tide Got me right Hold on Hold me tight The moon And you You do me again And you do me again

about

Jay Thomas Miami, Florida

Jay Thomas writes sensual music with beats and string arrangements that evoke fantasy and escapism, while addressing grief, trauma, and human rights. His androgynous voice travels from gentle and soothing to coarse and raw in primal chants.

“Moody. Nostalgic. Dreamy. Fantasy-like.
In other words: hard to put in a box.”
- South Florida Gay News
