Dropping Like Flies

In the cold hard light of day
Do you like the face you see?
Ain't it hard sometimes to say
That your eyes have atrophied?
Because the heart is a slippery one
And it's tricky to dislodge
Carry on as your day dissolves
In a black and white
A black and white montage

Bodies falling to the floor
Bodies falling to the floor
They're dropping like flies
They're dropping like flies
They're dropping like flies
They're dropping like flies

In the chest there's an emptiness
Heartbeats ring in hollow halls
And the patient says
He's feeling fine
But that's just the drugs he's on

So you try, trying to find a voice
That reminds you of your own
But every word
That passes from your lips
Is counterfeit, illegitimate

Bodies falling to the floor
Bodies falling to the floor
They're dropping like flies
They're dropping like flies, hey
They're dropping like flies
They're dropping like flies

They're dropping like flies
Flies
Flies

They're dropping like flies
Flies
Flies

Here comes another one
Flies
Flies
Flies

And there comes another one
Flies
Flies
Flies

And there comes another one
