Trembling like a weather vane He reaches for the half-spent cigarette that he had saved The only thing that's left inside are the cluster flies that nest inside his mind The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head Cluster flies inside his head How he wishes he was dead The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head Fumbling in his pocket for his change He'd search the street for somewhere he could stay A place where he could get some rest away from all the buzzing, flapping, flying pests The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head Cluster flies inside his head How he wishes he was dead The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head In the fear of silence, in the fear of sleep He'd toss and turn and count the ridges on his teeth The hum it comes again The hum it comes again It calls him to the edge, it calls him to his death The hum it comes again It makes him climb the steps It makes him take the leap of faith and plummet to his death The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head Cluster flies inside his head How he wishes he was dead The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head They swept him up like warm confetti off the street His heart was silent no you couldn't hear a beat Except for the horde of flies who swarmed and fought for portions of his meat And the coroner who stood their tracing ridges on his teeth The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head Cluster flies inside his head How he wishes he was dead The man with flies inside his head The man with flies inside his head
