Fly Trapped In A Jar Lyrics - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse

Of part and parcel 

So, well, we're already dead 

Well, it's probably been said 

That it's always been said 

That 

One wing isn't even enough 

It isn't even enough 

It isn't even enough 

It isn't even enough 

To leave 

One wing isn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

To leave 

I'm gonna shake myself right out the door 

I'm gonna take myself when it's finally over 

I'm gonna let my own bad self take over 

I'm gonna move my arm out with my shoulder 

And 

One wing wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

To leave 

One wing wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

To leave 

One wing wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

It wasn't even enough 

To leave 

First off, Gary was on trial, and drunk before we left bed 

As things got better, was it hard to say that he had no idea? 

Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around 

So, we all just opened up our mouths and walked to this town 

Well, I was walking just a little bit sideways, and you were walking sideways too 

Well, I hadn't learned when a front door can be used 

Here it goes now 

We had darkened doors, so we didn't read what the sign read 

Though simple enough, it was to me really tough; the ground needs to be fed 

Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed that they didn't really want us around 

So, not a single one of us will ever leave town 

Here we go, sir 

Our bodies were laid out 

They were laid for fifteen yards 

Well, two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar 

Well, I hadn't noticed, but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around 

So, every single one of us hit the ground 

Here we go now 

One wing wasn't even, uh 

One wing wasn't even enough 

Oh, pardon, pardon 

So, well, it's already been said 

That it's always been said that 

We're already dead
