Papillon is not just the name of a dog and butterfly, it's also the name of a semi-autobiographical book (and later a movie) about Henri Charrière, who was convicted of murder and sent to prison on Devil's Island. He tried multiple times to escape, until eventually he succeeded. He was called Papillon because of a butterfly tattoo he had. It's possible that that's what he's talking about when he says "All dressed up, no place to run/No car, no girl, no pills, no fun/Nothing to do in this empty room/I gotta get my head together soon." I feel like he's comparing some sort of relationship to escaping from prison, but I'm not entirely sure what.
