dirty old town, dirty old town
they've got all your little problems clearly written down
but you don't even know and you can't even see

oh, the butterfly that you're going to be,
oh, the butterfly that you are becoming


all the roads and all the miles,
hair goes grey, eyes stay white
fall into bed, turn off the lights

fall asleep inside

you're the one, you're the one, you're the one

hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
i carry your heart in my heart sung with every song

you're the one, you're the one

poised with grace in this poisoned place

how you ever manage to keep it off your face?
but you don't even know and you can't even see
oh, the butterfly that you're going to be,

oh, the butterfly you are becoming

dirty old town, dirty old town

they've got all your little secrets clearly written down
and you don't even know and you can't even see
oh, the butterfly that you're gonna be,

oh, the butterfly that you are becoming

you're the one, you're the one, you're the one

hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
i carry your heart in my heart, hearts become one


you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one

you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
i carry your heart in my heart sung with every song
fall asleep inside
