Hoverfly Lyrics by Sive

The Roaring Girl

2017

[Chorus]
You're only a hoverfly, disguised as a wasp
If I dared get too close would you sting me?
I don’t think you could, even if you tried
Cause you're only a hoverfly
You're only a hoverfly

[Verse 1]
It’s a dangerous game that you're playing
Maybe one day a crow or a hawk or a bee
Will come to realise that you wear a disguise
And they'll chew you up and spit out your wings
They'll spit out your wings

[Chorus]
Cause you're only a hoverfly, disguised as a wasp
If I dared get too close would you sting me?
I don't think you could, even if you tried
Cause you're only a hoverfly
You'rе only a hoverfly

[Verse 2]
You’ve painted a picturе you hold of yourself
And you’re working so hard so the paint doesn't fade
But even through layers of colour so bright
Beneath the black and the gold, I can see

[Chorus]
That you’re only a hoverfly, disguised as a wasp
If I dared get too close would you sting me?
I don't think you could if you tried and you tried
Cause you're only a hoverfly
You're only a hoverfly

[Bridge]
I don’t know why you want to scare me
I'm just trying to go about my day
Is it some animal instinct?
But you've got no prey, no nest to protect
You've got only your own neck
You're frantically flitting to and fro
Because you don't know where to go
No you've got no place to go

[Chorus]
You're only a hoverfly, disguised as a wasp
If I dared get too close would you sting?
I don't think you could, even if you tried
Cause you're only a hoverfly
You're only a hoverfly
