Soul Asylum Lyrics - The Cult

Who would break a butterfly on a wheel? 

Not me, my precious child 

Sweet angel, wrap me in your velvet cloak, my dear 

Love's a sweet warm Goddess I invited here 

So many times I call your name, baby baby, please 

So many times I call your name, yeah 

Before the night is through grant me one last wish 

Sweet soul asylum yeah, an everlasting kiss 

Who would crush this woman underfoot? 

Oh not me, my chosen one 

(My chosen one) 

Sweet angel, wrap me in your velvet cloak, my dear 

Love's a sweet warm Goddess I invited here 

So many times I call your name, oh please baby, yeah 

So many times I call your name 

Before the night is through grant me one last wish 

Sweet soul asylum yeah, an everlasting kiss 

Oh baby, yeah yeah yeah 

Oh oh oh, takes me far away 

So many times I call your name, oh baby baby, please 

So many times I call your name 

(Before the night is through) 

Before the night is through 

(Grant me one last wish) 

Oh, grant me one last wish 

Sweet soul asylum, an everlasting kiss 

(Before the night is through, grant me one last wish) 

Sweet soul asylum, an everlasting kiss 

Sweet soul asylum, yeah oh, sweet soul asylum, yeah 

Sweet soul, yeah, sweet soul asylum, oh
