You smile at me in total defiance of all decency |
|
You've got it down to a science |
|
That innocent look |
|
You've got it practiced real good |
|
But I know you'd kill me if you could stand the sight of blood |
|
If I'd'a been a fly on the wall a little earlier |
|
If I'd been one of the innumerable flies in this room |
|
If I'd'a been a fly on the wall a little earlier |
|
It woulda been real different around here |
|
You try to speak but the buzz is too loud |
|
And it's hard to make you laugh through the dense black cloud |
|
That surrounds us both |
|
It's just as well |
|
You call the rope |
|
Let the whole house go to hell |
|
If I'd'a been one of these flies |
|
I would have lodged myself firmly underneath your eyelid |
|
If I'd'a been one of these flies a little earlier |
|
It would have been real different around here. |
