lyrics

Fruit Fly

A man in a suit stepped towards me
said dot your i's and cross your t's
a bag of benjamins, yes indeed
oh yeah Sonny you'll soon be free
i said man
you don't understand
i got this whole world in my hand
i got my time and i got my words
so fall back
you can keep it moving sir
don't need no fruit flies
so shoo fly
don't bother me

look at that mouth so full of gold
shining just behind her lips
yeah this girl from San Antone
told me i'm a pretty bitch
i said mercy mercy me
i said mercy mercy ahh
i wish well for all my foes
that's my word man
hand to god
it go
Geppetto, geppetto, geppetto
belly of the beast
another hand out a hand out a hand out
everyone want it with ease
a light at the end of a tunnel
lighting the length of the trail
lighting the way to my future
through all the ways that i've failed
the devil sink beneath me
he grounds me in my worth
feeling useless like a poem
why does pain feel so rehearsed
don't need no fruit flies
so shoo fly
don't bother me

how could i
sleep at night
when bedding down with snakes and leeches
bad apples and rotten peaches

i heard through the grape vine
like telephone lines
they got all you can eat peaches and limes
for $12.99 off of amazon prime
how come you only things go right
and never when i'm tucked outside the limelight
chew through on apple then bury the core
convinced it's worth more in its original form
on the tree branch from which is was born
sign away percentage to a name with no form
pay pennies on the backend and they call it reward
cock suckin parasites with a taste for war
sure
but i don't need no fruit flies
so shoo fly
don't bother me
