Flotsam And Jetsam - Swatting At Flies Lyrics
The only thing I ever made in my life was a fistThe only thing that ever proved that I existBroken glass looks best when the sun's goin downTake it from me, I'm broken tooAnd there's lots of us aroundLike swatting at flies till they cover the floorLike pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the doorLike the time I fell in love into someone elseLike the time I complained about the cards I've been dealtLike they say when it rains you know it always poursLike hearing no again and slamming of doorsI've been alone, I've been together, I'd been lostMaking my decisions, with the coins that I tossThe slower they walk, you know the harder it getsShoulda, woulda, coulda, sketches all our regretsLike swatting at flies till they cover the floorLike pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the doorLike the time I fell in love into someone elseLike the time I complained about the cards I've been dealtLike they say when it rains you know it always poursLike hearing no again and slamming of doorsEnjoying myself has just been an afterthoughtI never doubted the teachers, just the lessons they taughtIf I couldn't fill my stomach, I'd fill my headBut I never could fill the word that I saidLike swatting at flies till they cover the floorLike pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the doorLike the time I fell in love into someone elseLike the time I complained about the cards I've been dealtLike they say when it rains you know it always poursLike hearing no again and slamming of doorsSlamming of doors doors doors
