We're All Just Flies

The day the earth stood still 

Is just a distant memory 

The last remaining people 

Just trying to keep it turning 

Turpentine is on sale 

Like it's buy one get one free

The blind they are the lucky ones

To only smell the burning 

Where do they go? 

When their eyes roll in their skulls 

It must be nice 

To meet your dreams up close

The faint green afterglow

That comes out every night

We’re all just flies 

Trapped inside a neon light

The strong metallic taste

Reminds you you’re alive

Caught somewhere in the middle 

When the worlds collide

Where do they go? 

When their eyes roll in their skulls 

It must be nice 

To meet your dreams up close

The broken church in town 

That proclaimed the end was nigh

The priest is in there dancing

Just to pass the time

The house will always win

In this kaleidoscope of sin 

Just put me back to sleep 

For at least a thousand years 

Where do they go? 

When their eyes roll in their skulls 

It must be nice 

To meet your dreams up close

It must be nice 

To see your dreams up close
