lyrics

(The) Fly

Trapped like flies,
caught between the windowpane
and the blinds.
Tears in all five of my eyes;
trying to air 'em dry
in the sunshine before I die.
I've eaten God-knows-what,
and why?
To stay alive?
Sometimes,
when my wings get tired
I look straight up into the sky,
and if you bother
to get that big ear
close enough to me,
man you'll hear me begging.

Don't treat me with silence,
Oh please, just use your violence.
Don't kill me with kindness,
use something else!

Trapped like flies,
caught somewhere between
the Earth and the sky.
Born, and born to move quick, but why?
Just to ensure the
shrinking shadow of your hand
ain't the last thing I see
before I die?
To find shit, sugar and wine?
And if I let that wind carry me up
way too high,
what's there to find?
The answer to why?
Or just a question mark
scrawled tall after the letter i?

Don't treat me with silence,
You'd be hard-pressed
to move me like this.
Don't kill me with kindness,
use something else!

Don't treat me with silence,
Oh please, just use your violence.
Don't kill me with kindness,
use something else.
