There's gold in the city
But never quite enough now to pay the rent
You could've had it all but the pity
Is everything you're gonna need is heaven sent
Maybe the dream that we had is gone
The people 'round here are like a setting sun
They're bigging you up while they're knocking you down
But they can't stop me from loving you
Be my butterfly, and please don't flutter by
We'll do the damage kid
If love's what it's all about, it's soul I'm chopping out
We'll do the damage, kid
Like a stone I was falling
Will anybody come and get me out of here?
I waited in the rain for the calling
Will anybody come and get me out of here?
Maybe the dream that we had is gone
The people 'round here are like a setting sun
They're bigging you up while they're knocking you down
But they can't stop me from loving you
Be my butterfly, and please don't flutter by
We'll do the damage kid
If love's what it's all about, it's soul I'm chopping out
We'll do the damage, kid
Be my butterfly, and please don't flutter by
We'll do the damage kid
If love's what it's all about, it's soul I'm chopping out
We'll do the damage, kid
