"Fly"

Please give me a second grace

Please give me a second face

I've fallen far down

The first time around

Now I just sit on the ground in your way

Now if it's time to recompense for what's done

Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun

And the clouds will roll by

And we'll never deny

It's really too hard for the fly

Please tell me your second name

Please play me your second game

I've fallen so far

For the people you are

I just need your star for a day

So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay

For now I must know how fine you are in your way

And the sea sure as I

But you won't need to cry

For it's really too hard for the fly
