The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings lyrics

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

Even though I know I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold like old job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
[2x]

Then someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am 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?

Even though I know I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold like old job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
[2x]

Then someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
[2x]

And someone will say
What is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a
[2x]

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son for you

And I still believe
Tthat I cannot be saved
[4x]
