Once was called Rico Suave
A pretty boy with no women
From that day I started livin
Spread my wings
Let the wind take me
Sip from the glass of finer things
I'll let you escape like sand from my fingers
And where will you be
When your scent all but lingers

So when the butterflies kiss my belly
And the twinkle in your eye tugs at my cheeks
I'll smile wide
You'll smile too
And I'll laugh at the world
Knowing I'll sell the silver coated in my mouth
I'll spit the gold lined in my jaw

Find out the butterflies are moths
Your twinkle is the light at the end
You smiled at my smile
Not with mine
I'll still laugh
The world can't handle me

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde
