Wings Off Flies Lyrics - Nick Cave & The Bad Seed

She loves me, she loves me not 

She loves me, she loves me not 

She loves me, she loves me not 

Well, I've spent seven days and seven nights 

Tryin' to get sunk in this brine 

Don't turn on ya water works 

'Cause I got me a pair of water wings, right? 

My insects suicide against the window 

My heart goes out to those lil' flies 

There's a buzzin' in my ear 

But it's more of her black mail ham Shakespeare lies 

Wings off flies 

She loves me, she loves me not 

Lord, I've discovered the recipe of heaven 

You get solitude and you mix with sanctuary 

And silence and then bake it 

Listen, I plead guilty to misanthropy 

So hang me, I'd appreciate it 

Witness her gate crash my tiny hell 

With some obscene tete a tete 

If you wanna talk to me about love and pain 

See my ulcer, it'd be happy to accommodate 

Wings off flies 

She loves me, loves me not 

Oh hey Joe, another outta do the job 

Time to drown our lil' fire 

Feel free to keep the ashes 

Just bye bye, bye bye, bye bye, now bye bye 

I'll see you in the pig's eye 

I will be one in need of no one 

On my last and deepest dive, hey fill'er up Joe 

I'm obliged, I am obliged 

Wings off flies 

Oh, she loves me, no she loves me not 

Oh, had to 

Welcome the solitary flyer 

You see it land on the rim of my glass 

It's going around and around and around 

Look I just don't have the heart to hurt a fly 

I grabbed it in my paw, snatched it up 

And then I held it to my ear, could hear it scream 

Could hear it scream and scream and scream 

Till it screamed not 

Hey Joe, you know anything about this scream?
