A Fly in the Hand - Alice Russell
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
But it sure felt good to hold
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
But it sure felt good to hold
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
But it sure felt good to hold
Heavy change is what I need
No bag of silver with a smiling queen
I got a spider in a box you see
Someday I'll take a little sum for me
From Rome to my very hand
Slipping through like each grain of sand
I open letters to the sound of air
But aw get away I don't want to share
I catch a fly in my hand
In my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly to fly
It didn't help me understand
Understand
But it sure felt good to hold
I catch
Look for the silver there's a finders fee
And there's an acre for every tree
I wanna go share all around
I drop a penny and I hear no sound
I close the box hide it away
And put a value on their currency
That's ten to them for every one to me
Swallow the key for another day
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
But it sure felt good to hold
I catch
It's through the nose this shit is true
My favourite letters I O U
I cut some feathers with some amber beads
I got an empty bag of some whales teeth
Show me the blood to pacify
It's what makes mothers leave to babies cry
I wanna go share all around
I change the time for every pound of pounds
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
Understand
But it sure felt good to hold
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
But it sure felt good to hold
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
But it sure felt good to hold
I catch a fly in my hand
My knuckles go white
I wanted to fly
It didn't help me understand
But it sure felt good to hold
