King Of The Flies

Right from the start I got it wrong

I did the things I shouldn't have done

I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea

Now someone else looks after me

I stole every minute from time's locked doors

And sold used souls in bargain stores

Without a conscience I was king of the flies

I laid in gutters and told you lies

Yellow light bulb

Lights go out at ten o'clock

Bolted steel door

This time they'll throw the key away

Cold grey floorstone

It feels like home now

Yet another sleepless night

How do the flies get in and out

I changed the rules to suit myself

I swapped my heart for something else

Stuck between the devil and an overdose

I played hands tied with the Holy Ghost

Well I made some money on my way down

I dragged my friends into the ground

Get behind me Satan if you want your share

This cell is more than I can bear

Yellow light bulb

Lights go out at ten o'clock

Bolted steel door

This time they'll throw the key away

Cold grey floorstone

It feels like home now

Not another sleepless night

How do the flies get in and out

Yellow light bulb

Lights go out at ten o'clock

Bolted steel door

This time they'll throw the key away

Cold grey floorstone

It feels like home now

I can't stand another sleepless night

How do the flies get in and out
