Swatting At Flies Lyrics - Cuatro - Flotsam And Jetsam

The only thing I ever made in my life was a fist 

The only thing that ever proved that I exist 

Broken glass looks best when the sun's goin' down 

Take it from me, I'm broken too and there's lots of us around 

Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor 

Like pulling teeth, tie the string and slam the door 

Like the time I fell in love into someone else 

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt 

Like they say when it rains you know it always pours 

Like hearing no again and slamming of doors 

I've been alone, I've been together, I'd been lost 

I've been making my decisions, with the coins that I toss 

The slower they walk you know the harder it gets 

Shoulda, woulda, coulda, sketches all our regrets 

Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor 

Like pulling teeth, tie the string and slam the door 

Like the time I fell in love into someone else 

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt 

Like they say when it rains you know it always pours 

Like hearing no again and slamming of doors 

Enjoying myself has just been an afterthought 

I never doubted the teachers, just the lessons they taught 

If I couldn't fill my stomach, I'd fill my head 

But I never could fill the word that I said 

Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor 

Like pulling teeth, tie the string and slam the door 

Like the time I fell in love into someone else 

Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt 

Like they say when it rains you know it always pours 

Like hearing no again and slamming of doors 

Like slamming of doors 

Like swatting at flies
