The Fly Songtext
von Rosie Tucker

There is a fly trapped between the window and the screen
Does he know he only lives for the day
I didn′t mean to let him in and I don't believe that life is suffering
But sometimes it sure looks that way

If I could give a piece of me to bring your mind some ease
I′d tear myself limb from limb
But for now I stand between the martyr and the priest
So we know there's something sweet beneath the fear and trembling

Honey I know it's been a year of earthquakes
Your heart is full of canyons and your hands have got the shakes
But one day you′ll wake up and you′ll be glad to be awake
You'll see your joy was never fragile and your love was no mistake


There′s a dandelion seed growing in the cracked concrete
Where the ground's got nothing to give
And it′s a miracle to me that where everything is ugly
There's still room for green things to live

So until the laughing′s easy we're gonna laugh real hard
And until we find a map we're gonna navigate by stars
Till we got somewhere to go we′re gonna dance in parking lots
Cause the folks that see right past you
They ain′t got half of what you got

Honey I know it's been a year of earthquakes
Your heart is full of canyons and your hands have got the shakes
But one day you′ll wake up and you'll be glad to be awake
You′ll see your joy was never fragile and your love was no mistake
Your love was no mistake
