The Fly

There’s a fly trapped between
The window and the screen
Does he know he only lives for the day
And I didn’t mean to let him in
And I don’t believe life is suffering
But sometimes it sure looks that way
If I could give a piece of me
To give your mind some ease
I’d tear myself limb from limb
But for now I stand between
The martyr and the priest
Cause we know there’s something sweet beneath the fear and trembling
And honey I know
It’s been a year of earthquakes
And 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
Until we find a map we’re gonna navigate by stars
Til we’ve 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’ve got
And honey I know
It’s been a year of earthquakes
And 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
