Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I can't get that sound you make out of my head

I can't even figure out what's making it

No one else around even seems to be noticing

It's only small enough for me

[Instrumental]

I can't get that sound you make out of my head

I can't even figure out what's making it

It feels like fingernails across the moon

Or do you rub your wings together?

[Chorus]

There's a mean bone in my body

It's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer

And I won't take that from you

Because I'd

Hurt a fly

[Instrumental]

Let you go to sleep

Feeling bad as me

Let you go to sleep

Feeling bad

[Chorus]

There's a mean bone in my body

It's connected to the problems that I won't take for an answer

And I won't take that from you

Because I'd

Hurt a fly
