Dead Flies (Hyde Park Demo) Lyrics

Dead flies in this windowsill of mine

Guess it's time to pull the blinds and just unwind

Heard 'em buzzing 'round the kitchen late last night when I got in

Now them flies are sleeping just fine

The lawn grows taller each day

It's been so long I've been away

Dogs been a-barkin, neighbors come a-knockin'

But I don't think them dogs are even mine

Sometimes my friends come stumblin' by

Their cigarette butts around just lyin'

Drunk my liquor, and ate up all my food

But they're the best damn friends a guy like me could find

My car grows rustier each day

I don't drive around much anyway

Put an ad online and a man came by, stuck a needle in my eye

He drove off smoke pouring from the engine bay

Some call me unlucky, some call me unkind

Some have even said I've been untrue

But I just sit and watch all them passersby

Blowin' smoke from my point of view

So if you got a problem, you could come it solve it

You might meet the business end of my revolver

And like them dead flies in my window, I won't hear you buzzin'

Cos I'm a problem-solvin' , sideways-walkin', funny-talkin', front porch-rockin', cold fly-swattin', fast draw kinda guy
