Attracting Flies Lyrics
Hold on now, I'm choking.
Give me a second to collect myself.
You must be joking, otherwise I'm laughing to myself.
Why are you here again?
Hold on a minute, let me check this out.
Your invitation's a fake, must be from a take it out.
I hear you out, you hear me out.
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.
I hear you out, you hear me out.
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.
[Chorus]
Little grey fairy tales and, little white lies.
Everything you exhale, is attracting flies
And you can go off the rails and you can cry your eyes out.
But everything you exhale is attracting flies.
Please stay it's your moment.
I'll give you all the listenin' that you need.
Don't be a show-man,
Who needs the drama, who said you had to bleed?
I'm excited.
Come on, surprise me, sweep me off my feet.
Oh enlighten me, what is the special thing 'bout you I need?
I hear you out, you hear me out.
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.
I hear you out, you hear me out.
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.
[Chorus]
Little grey fairy tales and, little white lies.
Everything you exhale, is attracting flies.
And we can go off the rails and you can cry your eyes out.
But everything you exhale is attracting flies.
How'd you think it felt when you stuck the knife in?
You know my heart's right and you had me aching.
How about a piece of your own medicine?
Now you're outside there tryina get in.
Bee-aye-by, why would I care if you want me?
Bee-aye-by, why would I care if you don't?
Bee-aye-by, why would I care if you need me?
Bee-aye-by, why would I care if you go?
[Chorus]
Little grey fairy tales and, little white lies.
Everything you exhale, is attracting flies.
And you can go off the rails and you can cry your eyes out.
But everything you exhale is attracting flies.
Give me a second to collect myself.
You must be joking, otherwise I'm laughing to myself.
Why are you here again?
Hold on a minute, let me check this out.
Your invitation's a fake, must be from a take it out.
I hear you out, you hear me out.
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.
I hear you out, you hear me out.
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.
Little grey fairy tales and, little white lies.
Everything you exhale, is attracting flies
And you can go off the rails and you can cry your eyes out.
But everything you exhale is attracting flies.
I'll give you all the listenin' that you need.
Don't be a show-man,
Who needs the drama, who said you had to bleed?

I hear you out, you hear me out.
I hear you shout, I'm not stepping out.

Little grey fairy tales and, little white lies.
Everything you exhale, is attracting flies.
And you can go off the rails and you can cry your eyes out.
But everything you exhale is attracting flies.

i really like this song but im really puzzled to the meaning does anybody have any ideas?
The way I like to interpret it as is that this fella that she's talking about, talks a load of shit.
Shit attracts flies, and his words do just that.
Not 100% on whether it's that basic, but if it is, then the lyrics make the point rather beautifully.
