Firewater Dropping Like Flies Lyrics

Dropping Like Flies Lyrics

In the cold hard light of day 



Do you like the face you see? 



Ain't it hard sometimes to say 



That your eyes have atrophied? 



Because the heart is a slippery one 



And it's tricky to dislodge 



Carry on as your day dissolves 



In a black & white montage 



 



Bodies falling to the floor 



They're dropping like flies 



 



In the crest there's an emptiness 



Heartbeats ring in hollow halls 



And the patient says 



He's feeling fine 



But that's just the drugs he's on 



 



And you cry, trying to find a voice 



That reminds you of your own 



But every word 



That passes from your lips 



Is counterfeit, illegitimate
