The Fly
Omaha embraced my fragile ego
She held me tightly, said "don't go"
I didn't want to
The river captivated my imagination
But I couldn't imagine a different station
I wanted a new day
Driving hard through the spring rain
Toiling daily for money but no gain
Everyday was the same
I tore off to New Orleans
I lost my rib and she stole my dreams
The daily pain of life was real
There were lies so often I lied
I tried, how hard I tried
I couldn't be true
Lost in Loess hills
Driving with my heart on nill
Then I stole away
Another time and another place
A stranger to wash my dirty face
I forgot about her
Now I look back still I wonder
Why dreams and hopes were pulled assunder
No mistakes
I stand here now looking into the Sound
I jump from this place off of the ground
There is no coincedence
I learned that there was nothing to learn
I yearned for what I no longer yearn
I still remember
She held me tightly, said "don't go"
I didn't want to
The river captivated my imagination
But I couldn't imagine a different station
I wanted a new day
Driving hard through the spring rain
Toiling daily for money but no gain
Everyday was the same
I tore off to New Orleans
I lost my rib and she stole my dreams
The daily pain of life was real
There were lies so often I lied
I tried, how hard I tried
I couldn't be true
Lost in Loess hills
Driving with my heart on nill
Then I stole away
Another time and another place
A stranger to wash my dirty face
I forgot about her
Now I look back still I wonder
Why dreams and hopes were pulled assunder
No mistakes
I stand here now looking into the Sound
I jump from this place off of the ground
There is no coincedence
I learned that there was nothing to learn
I yearned for what I no longer yearn
I still remember
