Flies trapped in the goop of your eyes
Pull them out of there quickly before they die
Start to cry of feeling down
Pull them out of there quickly before they drown

You've been stuck inside for so long
You've forgotten how the Sun feels
Where did things go so wrong
Nothing really feels real

Baby, you were born in disguise
You were wearing a mask when you first opened your eyes
You have to stop trying to be nice
Your crying is something you can't intellectualize

You've been stuck inside for so long
You've forgotten how the Sun feels
Where did things go so wrong
Nothing really feels real

And the hours blend
Into one more day
And there are flies in your eyes
They take forever to die
And the hours blend
Into one more day
There are flies in your eyes
They take forever to die

City cats can't fight
You wade through the Thames at night
Look up at the skyline
The lights are your lifeline
City cats can't fight
You wait till high tide
You do things you don't like
Get into to cat fights

She scratches her head
She might have nits
I think I'll stay away
I don't need
Any bugs
Getting stuck in my eyes
Tonight
