Left some food wrapped up in a plastic bag, on the kitchen table, way too long.
Sat down to eat next to the bag, I was too tired to throw it out
F#m E B
I saw a swarm of fruit flies. I took the bag downstairs.
F#m E B
When I came back, they were still there.
F#m E B
Flying jerky patterns like snowflakes in the air.
F#m E B
I’m sorry – you’ve got nowhere to go.
F#m E B
I’m sorry – you’ve got nowhere to go……
F#m E B
F#m E B
Left, straight, right, straight – I can’t find a reason.
F#m E B
I know I keep going but I can’t find a reason,
F#m E B
Nothing looks right, nothing smells right and I can’t land.

F#m E B
Geometric patterns smearing out of control,
F#m E B
Only have enough gas left for the beer can to the bowl.
F#m E B
What can I do but go on?

On no you make your own mistakes, I cannot bring them back to you.
F#m E B
On no you make your own mistakes, I cannot measure up to you.

| I agree that the song is a metaphor, only using the fly as a representation of the way he perceived his life at that time. "What can you do but go on?" is the defining line of the song showing that although everything is "smearing out of control" and is in a frantic state, all you can do is go on. It also is has very visual lyrics where hallucinogens could have either played a part in the lyrical writing or as a background to the initial "out of control life" meaning where the fly is seen by someone potentially trapped in their head while tripping. Just the way I see it ^^ -geekstyle- | |
