Lyrics and translation
Original
Let me tell you a story.
The convict who gets sent down.
He's made some mistakes, but he had a hard life.
He gets out and vows never to come back.
Sets up a successful business and rejoins society.
But he feels like he's never accepted the same.
This is the story of the Carpet Doctor.
I know
I've changed, but what does it matter?
Out there will I be butterfly or caterpillar? Disdained on all faces, mutter as I wander by.
Am I the caterpillar? Am I the butterfly? Know where my bread is buttered.
Know where I'm off for dinner. Am I the butterfly? Am I the caterpillar? I walk up in the gutter.
It's not where I'll die. Am I the caterpillar or am I the butterfly?
Put down your pesticide. I've killed what's left inside. I'm not the caterpillar.
I am the butterfly.
