The Fly Lyrics by Cosmo Sheldrake

Pelicans We

2015

[Verse 1]
Little fly, thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand has brushed away

Am I not a fly like thee?
Or art thou not a man like me?

[Verse 2]
For I dance and drink, and sing
Till some blind hand shall brush my wing

If thought is life and strength and breath
And the want of thought is death;

[Bridge]
Doo doo dum doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Dum doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Dum doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Dum doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

Dum doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Dum doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Dum doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Dum doo doo doo, doo doo

[Chorus]
Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I die

Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I die

Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I die

Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I
Die

[Verse 3]
Little fly, thy summer's play
My thoughtless hand has brushed away

Am I not a fly like thee?
Or art thou not a man like me?

[Verse 4]
For I dance and drink, and sing
Till some blind hand shall brush my wing

If thought is life and strength and breath
And the want of thought is death;

[Chorus]
Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I die

Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I die

Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I die

Then I am a happy fly
If I live or if I
Die
