Fly On The Wall Lyrics
Xtc
(colin moulding)
I am the fly on the wall,
My prying eyes are looking through your bottom drawer.
I just came flying through your door,
You didnt notice that your number had been called.
I see the mother whos beating the babe,
I see the money,
The pennies you save,
Stored on computers,
From birth to the grave.
The fly on the wall,
Hes seeing it all.
I am the fly upon the wall,
Youre in the index of the files that stand so tall.
Although your health is rather poor,
We have a place for those who cannot find a cure.
I know your income,
Your daily crust,
I know your pleasures,
Your passion,
Your lust,
I know when youre living and I know when youre dust.
The fly on the wall,
Hes seeing it all.
One is born and one will die, its all understood
The bit thats in the middle doesnt count
I am the fly on the wall,
My prying eyes are looking through your bottom drawer.
I just came flying through your door,
You didnt notice that your number had been called.
I see the mother whos beating the babe,
I see the money,
The pennies you save,
Stored on computers,
From birth to the grave.
The fly on the wall,
Hes seeing it all. I am the fly
I am the fly upon the wall,
Youre in the index of the files that stand so tall.
Although your health is rather poor,
We have a place for those who cannot find a cure.
I know your income,
Your daily crust,
I know your pleasures,
Your passion,
Your lust,
I know when youre living and I know when youre dust.
The fly on the wall,
Hes seeing it all.
