Lyrics to The Fly

The sidewalks sparkle like the sticky sweat on meat

Broken bookends spill our lies into the street

Her lips are floating on her filthy little face

Lay her down and watch her smile wash away



We're waiting for someone to fail

Entertaining the fly on the wall



Left to our own vices

We'll create the latest crisis

Ell the right off

At the highest prices



Its not our fault

Just in our blood

Blow up the dam

To watch the flood

Push the button

Walk away



We're waiting for someone to fail

Entertaining the fly on the wall



We're casting a shadow

Blocking out the light

We're eating the innocent tonight



Is true love my true enemy?

Cause it will be the death of me?

I'll chalk it up to tragedy

Three tracts of my obituary

Under the money tree

Is where she made a man of me

Carved from silk on top of me

Inside her deepest cavity

She led me to believe

But there was scars up her sleeve

And sometimes

A scar is just a scar

She was the sand in my vaseline

My melting ice cream;

A second rate handjob

In the back of the fucking car



We're waiting for someone to fail

Entertaining the fly on the wall



We're casting a shadow

Blocking out the light

We're eating the innocent tonight
