Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crawling over your window
You think I'm confused
I'm waiting for the divergent wasp
To complete my current ruse
[Verse 2]
You use a plate-glass screen
To protect my chosen target
But there's an air-pellet hole
I can crawl through to you
[Verse 3]
I am the fly in the ointment
I can spread more disease
Than the fleas which nibble away
At your window display
[Verse 4]
Yes, I am the fly in the ointment
I shake you down to say please
As you accept the next dose of disease
[Verse 5]
I am the fly, I am the fly
I am the fly, I am the fly
Fly in the, fly in the ointment
I am the fly, I am the fly
I am the fly, I am the fly
Fly in the, fly in the ointment
[Verse 6]
I am the fly, I am the fly
I am the fly, I am the fly
Fly in the, fly in the ointment
Yes, I am the fly, I am the fly
I am the fly, I am the fly
Fly in the, fly in the ointment
[Verse 7]
I am the fly, I am the fly
I am the fly, I am the fly
Fly in the, fly in the ointment
Yes, I am the fly, I am the fly
I am the fly, I am the fly
Fly in the, fly in the ointment
[Verse 8]
I am the fly
