Bullet With Butterfly Wings Lyrics By The Smashing Pumpkins

    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

    pre
    even though i know
    i suppose i’ll show
    all my cool and cold
    like ol’ job

    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 cage
    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 wanna change
    what do you got
    when you feel the same

    pre
    even though i know
    i suppose i’ll show
    all my cool and cold
    like ol’ job

    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 cage
    then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
    despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage

    middle eight
    tell me i’m the only one
    tell me there’s no other one
    jesus was an only son yeah
    tell me i’m the chosen one
    jesus was an only son for you

    interlude
    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 cage
    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…
    despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a…
    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 an only son for you

    and i still believe that i cannot be saved
    and i still believe that i cannot be saved
    and i still believe that i cannot be saved
    and i still believe that i cannot be saved
