Venus Fly

Lyrics

Little fly, don't you die so easy I know you only live a day Weathered by the winds so high and breezy Don't you let this evening slip away Little legs hatch from eggs each morning Silhouettes hardly ever change Stomach begs the musky dregs adorning For a taste of something new and strange Oh, open up your eyes Can't you see you're falling for the Venus Fly? Oh, won't you tell me why You keep living like you're never gonna die? Little speck, don't you wreck your wingspan The beating of which gives to you your name Keep in check below your neck for things can So easily be plucked upon your frame Spiders crawling forest walls you've thwarted You circumvent the snatch of froggy tongue The birds who call from perches tall you've shorted But on this fang you let yourself be hung? Oh, open up your eyes Can't you see you're falling for the Venus Fly? Oh, won't you tell me why You keep living like you're never gonna die? Never gonna die Don't you know that it's a lie? You were only passing by for a try, another high Now the jaws will never pry "Come and play," you hear it say so sweetly Nothing else had ever been so bold But where you lay it's had its way discreetly With all the rest who never grew so old The same disease that lures the bees to pollen Pulls you where no free thing should involve In the squeeze of this the tease you've fallen Now to feel your body be dissolved Oh, open up your eyes Can't you see you're falling for the Venus Fly? Oh, won't you tell me why You keep living like you're never gonna die? Never gonna die Don't you know that it's a lie? You were only passing by for a try, another high Now the jaws will never pry
