SMASHING PUMPKINS - Bullet With Butterfly Wings lyrics

rate me

The world is a vampire, sent to drain

Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames

And what do I get for my pain?

Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

(chorus)

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show

All my cool and cold-like I'm told

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage (2x)

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal

But can you fake it, for just one more show?

And what do you want, I want to change

And what have you got when you feel the same

(chorus)

(chorus 2)

Tell me I'm the only one

Tell me there's no other one

Jesus was an only son

Tell me I'm the chosen one

Jesus was an only son for you

(chorus)

(chorus 2)

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
