The Fly Lyrics

The Fly lyrics

There's a fly buzzing round inside my head
and it can't find its way
out.
Crawling here and there not getting anywhere,
I can feel it
panicking now.

As it follows a bundle of nerve fibres
down the
temporal lobe to my spinal cord.
Backs up to the pituitary gland,
flees
to the forebrain, turns again...

I can feel each footstep like a
punch,
my eyes explode with pain.
As it makes its way up my optic
track
then pauses and turns again...

It probes my
hypotalamus,
blunders round my cranium.
From the tectum to the
tegmentum
stretches its wings, then turns again...

Until it reaches
the control centre,
that tells me that I'm me.
It burrows into my
synapses,
rests a while and then it starts to feed...
