Fly On the Wall. Songtext
von Gallant

Beer on a flight
Exposure therapy for my fear of heights
The sky resembles hellfire, oh
Priests in my head excavating every word that I said
When I was drunk on false power

Who was I to blame you for how I′m losing grip?
Falling deeper and deeper in a bottomless pit
You put up your defenses, bit your tongue and bullets
How could I be so careless with my bottom lip?

If I could do it again, I'd say, "Please don′t mind me
I'm a fly on the wall" (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
"You don't have to put on for me
Let down your hair and your guard" (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

You said, "I sure love being so encrypted
Don′t expect me to open up like this
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?"

Next time I′m saying "Please don't mind me
I′m just a fly on the wall" (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)


Guilt flutters by
I whet the conscience with a scotch over ice
This ain't the first time I′ve faltered, oh baby (uh)
I get lost in my mind
Then I say I've tamed the beast but every time
I spill my blood on the altar (uh)

′Cause I can never say out loud that I'm losing grip
Falling deeper and deeper in a bottomless pit
With both hands on the wheel I keep on crashing my ship
Hope I don't grow complacent in this madness, no

If I could do it again, I′d say "Please don′t mind me
I'm a fly on the wall" (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
"You don′t have to put on for me
Let down your hair and your guard" (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

You said, "I sure love being so encrypted
Don't expect me to open up like this
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?"

Next time I′m saying "Please don't mind me
I′m just a fly on the wall" (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
