Wings Off Flies Lyrics

    She loves me, she loves me not
    She loves me, she loves me not
    She loves me, she loves me not
    We-e-ll, ah've spent seven days and seven nights
    Tryin to get sunk in this brine
    Don't turn on ya water-works
    'cause ah got me a pair of water-wings, right?!


    Insects suicide against the window,
    And my heart goes out to those lil flies
    There's a buzzin in my ear
    But it's more of her black-mail, ham shakespeare + lies
    Wings off flies, she loves me, she loves me not.
    O o o o oh she loves me not!!


    Lord, ah've discovered the recipe of heaven
    Ya git solitude and ya mix with sanctuary and silence,
    Then bake it!
    Listen, i plead guilty to misanthropy
    So hang me! ah'd appreciate it!!
    Witness her gate-crash my tiny hell
    With some obscene títe-à-títe,
    If ya wanna talk to me about love'n'pain
    Consult my ulcer, it'd be happy to co-operate
    Wings off flies, she loves me, loves me not
    Uh hey, joe! another outa do the job.


    Time to drown our lil fire, ya can keep the ashes,
    Now bye bye, bye, bye, see ya in a pigs eye!
    Ah will be one, in need of no-one
    In this, my deepest dive...
    Fill'er up, joe...


    Hey! ah am obliged! ah am olbiged!
    Wings off flies, she loves me, she loves me not
    Wings off flies etc... ad infinitum


    Welcome the solitary flyer ya
    See it land on the rim of my glass
    It's going around and around and around
    Look i just don't have the heart to hurt a fly
    I grabbed it in my paw
    Snatched it up
    And then i held it to my ear could hear it scream
    Could hear it scream and scream and scream
    Till it screamed not...
    Hey joe, ya know anything about this scream?
