There's a fly in my eye But inside he waits to die There's a fly in my ear But yet inside he wonders Will he live another year? There's a fly up my nose But he has not enough time To watch his grandchildren grow All these flies in my hair I'm not sure I even care Flies all over me But I'm here because I'm free He's here because he's dying But slowly slowly dying Watching his body fail him Function leaving limb by limb He doesn't even know about the flies Not anymore Because he doesn't go outside No his life is best inside Whilst it's still with him Which is why he waits For it to end

Fly in Eye
There's a fly in my eye But inside he waits to die There's a fly in my ear But yet inside he wonders Will he live another year? There's a fly up my nose But he has not enough time To watch his grandchildren grow All these flies in my hair I'm not sure I even care Flies all over me But I'm here because I'm free He's here because he's dying But slowly slowly dying Watching his body fail him Function leaving limb by limb He doesn't even know about the flies Not anymore Because he doesn't go outside No his life is best inside Whilst it's still with him Which is why he waits For it to end
