SEmilly fly where’s your self-Bcontrol?
You’re flying high and everCyone’s gone Ghome. Still you cCarry on aGlone.
EmSilly fly have you ever had enBough?
When there’s warning lCine before too Gmuch, still you jCust can’t get Benough.
(chorus)
SEmilly Fly, do you think that you’re a Cbird?
Yeah your flGying, but you’re wiDngs are old and torn.
EmSilly fly, do you think that that’s a sCtar?
Yeah it’s shiGning, but you won’t get what you Dcame for.
(verse - same as above)
Silly fly your pestering the crowd.
Your cleverness is all but wearing out and you’re just not coming down
Silly fly you claim you lost a friend.
But there was never one when you began, just a joker in a skin.
(chorus - same as above)
Silly Fly, do you think that you’re a bird?
Yeah your flying, but you’re wings are old and torn.
Silly fly, do you think that that’s a star?
Yeah it’s shining, but you won’t get what you came for.

Silly Fly, do you think that you’re a bird?
