Lyrics
The madding crowds are getting me down, I need a place to get away
The endless days, the confined space, the purple haze is beating down upon my face
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, I’m only sighing
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, it’s all right, man, I am only bleeding
Atomic eyes, belligerent smiles, the only respite’s to get real high
To kill the pain take it all away, the end of the world’s a lonely place to spend your days
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, I’m only sighing
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, it’s all right, man,
It’s all right
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, I’m only sighing
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, it’s all right, man I’m only bleeding
On butterfly wings I fly tonight across the city, above the lights
Beneath the stars the sky will shine until I reach the guiding light
On butterfly wings I fly tonight across the city, above the lights
Beneath the stars the sky will shine, on butterfly wings I fly tonight
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, it’s all right, man, it’s all right
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, I’m only sighing
Hey man, all right, I’m only bleeding, it’s all right, man, I’m only bleeding
