Butterfly On A Wheel - Boy George

When I was a girl

I hung from your arm

My laughter echoes down the street

You stopped to kiss me

I thought we were alone

Then I heard the sound of running feet

An angry heartbeat

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

From the day you were born

You had too much to say

They tried to shut you down

But you said it anyway

Questions, questions, questions

(So many questions)

Oh, won’t you do things my way

(Do things my way)

What kind of guys do you like?

You’re still afraid to say

No ever tells you you’re too straight

They tell you too queer

But no ever says you’re too straight

Back to black

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Does it matter who I wear?

Does it matter who I kiss?

I love normal people

'Cause they don’t exist

I mean they can if they want to

I said, they can if they want to

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Who breaks a butterfly, yeah, though guy

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?

Who breaks a butterfly, yeah, tough guy

Punch, slap, kick, tears

This fear is real

Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?
