"Fly Trapped In A Jar" lyrics
"Fly Trapped In A Jar"
Of part and parcel
Well, we're already dead
Well, it's probably been said
That it's always been said that
One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough to leave
One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough to leave
I'm gonna shake myself right out the door
I'm gonna take myself when it's finally over
I'm gonna let my own bad self take over
I'm gonna move my arm out with my shoulder
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave
First off Gary was on trial and drunk before we left bed
As things got bad, it wasn't hard to say that he had no idea
Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed
That they really didn't want us around
So we all just opened up our mouths and wallets to this town
Well, I was walking just a little bit sideways
And you were walking sideways too
Well, I hadn't learned when a front door can be used, here we go sir
We had docked in dark so we didn't read what the sign read
Though simple enough, it was demure and tough:
"The ground needs to be fed"
Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed
That they really didn't want us around
So not a single one of us will ever leave town, here we go sir
Our bodies were laid out evenly for fifteen yards
Well, two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar
Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed
That they really didn't want us around
So every single one of us fed the ground, here we go now
One wing wasn't even enough
One wing wasn't even enough
All part and parcel
Well it's probably been said
That it's always been said
We were already dead

Silversun Pickups - "Kissing Families" Stop the season stop the sting
A plastic mic a broken string
Infected wound from a rusty ring so what
Soon you'll be there too
Soon you'll be there too
Kissing families can't recall
A program...
The Mars Volta - "Cygnus....Vismund Cygnus" The ocean floor is hidden from your viewing lens
A depth perception languished in the night
All my life I've been sowing the wounds
But the seeds sprout a lachrymal cloud
Ooh... (Niño prepárate)...
Sonic Youth - "Kool Thing" Kool Thing sittin' with a kiddie
Now you know you're sure lookin' pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a chance here
I don't wanna, I don't think so
I don't wanna, I don't think so...
Neutral Milk Hotel - "Gardenhead / Leave Me Alone" There are beads that wrap
Around your knees that crackle into the dark
Like a walk in the park, like a hole in your head
Like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead
This time we ride roller...
Soul Coughing - "Rolling" I'm rolling...
I've gotta get a new balm
I've gotta get a tight tension on
I've got to slip it up before the rush gets gone
I've got to feel it with the hot mind on
I'm rolling...
Hey, Norman, was...
