I love to feel important
VIP, tip the doorman right
Right
Found God with backstage access
Oh, how the whiskey glasses shine
So bright

You can't social climb your way to heaven
But the view sure still is nice

Nice try Mr. Butterfly
Head high, what a special guy
Tongue tied, you could never lie
(You could never lie, you could never lie)
Nice try Mr. Butterfly
You might think you're skating by
Tongue tied, you could never lie
(You could never lie, you could never lie)

This life ain't one to savor
All debts are paid in favors twice
That's right
Found God in a hotel bathroom
Prayed to the porcelain all damn night
That's life

You can't social climb your way to heaven
But the view will make you cry

Nice try Mr. Butterfly
Head high, what a special guy
Tongue tied, you could never lie
(You could never lie, you could never lie)
Nice try Mr. Butterfly
You might think you're skating by
Tongue tied, you could never lie
(You could never lie, you could never lie)

Nice try Mr. Butterfly
Nice try Mr. Butterfly
Nice try Mr. Butterfly
Nice try Mr. Butterfly
Nice try Mr. Butterfly

Nice try Mr. Butterfly
Head high, what a special guy
Tongue tied, you could never lie
(You could never lie, you could never lie)
Nice try Mr. Butterfly
You might think you're skating by
Tongue tied, you could never lie
(You could never lie)
