Covered in Flies - Brendan Kelly and the Wandering Birds

Let’s make a date where we retch up the doom and sad fate

And a dream where the blood just washes away

In this place all the pleasure’s remembered as pain

The twitching dead flame, the emptiest frame

I’m just a ghoul but I’m charming, disarming these girls

You’re a bit of a fool but you’re good with your words

The world beats beneath us just burning and spitting up sick

I’m ready to move north a couple of clicks

I’m covered in flies

I’m covering you

You’re nothing but lies and acting confused

Taking a dive, pushing on through

You’ll be just fine.

I’m feeling screwed

Cut me some rhythm that isn’t all slack

I’m takin' back what I’m takin' back

And all of these haircuts’ll never change that

Just gimme the stack when we get to the tracks

Cuz all of that poison you’re holdin' is callin'

All of my notions and fences have fallen

I’m getting swollen.

I just wanna hold it

Gimme a taste boy, don’t just unroll it

Cuz I gotta die to get outta here

All of my sins are so sweet and so dear

Here in my memory I can recall

The smell of the blood and the tears of them all

Every garage door and spool of twine

Every cracked mirror’s thousands of lines

Every ripped panty and discarded limb

In the beginning there were more of them

If I don’t stay hungry, nobody wins

Let’s do it again boys
