SWATTING AT FLIES lyrics

Artist  : FLOTSAM & JETSAM 
Song : SWATTING AT FLIES
 

The only thing I ever made in my life was a
fist
The only thing that ever proved that I
exist
Broken glass looks best when the sun's
goin down
Take it from me, I'm broken
too
And there's lots of us around

Like
swatting at flies till they cover the
floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and
slam the door
Like the time I fell in love
into someone else
Like the time I complained
about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say
when it rains you know it always pours 
Like
hearing no again and slamming of
doors

I've been alone, I've been together,
I'd been lost
Making my decisions, with the
coins that I toss
The slower they walk, you
know the harder it gets
Shoulda, woulda,
coulda, sketches all our regrets

Like
swatting at flies till they cover the
floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and
slam the door
Like the time I fell in love
into someone else
Like the time I complained
about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say
when it rains you know it always pours 
Like
hearing no again and slamming of
doors

Enjoying myself has just been an
afterthought
I never doubted the teachers,
just the lessons they taught
If I couldn't
fill my stomach, I'd fill my head
But I never
could fill the word that I said

Like
swatting at flies till they cover the
floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and
slam the door
Like the time I fell in love
into someone else
Like the time I complained
about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say
when it rains you know it always pours 
Like
hearing no again and slamming of
doors
Slamming of doors doors doors
