Modest Mouse - Fly Trapped in a Jar lyrics

[Modest Mouse - Fly Trapped in a Jar lyrics]

All part and parcel well, we're already dead
Well, it's probably been said
That it's always been said that

One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough to leave
One wing isn't even enough
It isn't even enough
It isn't even enough to leave
(Ha ha ha, ha ha)

I'm gonna shake myself right out the door
I'm gonna thank myself when it's finally over
I'm gonna let my own bad self take over
Gonna move my arm out with my shoulder, and

One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave
One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave

One wing wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough
It wasn't even enough to leave

"First off" Gary was on dry and
Drunk before we'd left bed
As things got bad
It wasn't hard to say that he had no idea
Well, I hadn't noticed
But the people really noticed
That they really didn't want us around
So, we all just opened up our
Mouths and wallets to this town
Well, I was walkin' just
A little bit sideways
And you were walkin' sideways too
Well, I hadn't learned when a front door
Can't be used, here we go, sir

We had docked in dark so we
Didn't read what the sign read
Though simple enough, it was demure and tough
"The ground needs to be fed"
Well, I hadn't noticed
But the people really noticed
That they really didn't want us around
So, not a single one of us will
Ever leave town, here we go, sir

Our bodies were laid out
Evenly for fifteen yards
Well, two feet above each of our heads
Was a fly trapped in a jar
Well, I hadn't noticed
But the people really noticed
That they really didn't want us around
So, every single one of us fed
The ground, here we go, now

One wing (One wing) wasn't even enough
One wing (One wing) wasn't even enough
(wasn't even enough)

All part and parcel
Well, it's probably been said
That it's always been said
We were already dead
