Halo Of Flies Lyrics - Skyclad

All you needed was somebody with a dream, 

A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal. 

Only dead fish float with the stream - 

Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial. 

I'm not your Robin Hood or Peter Pan, 

I won't play Jesus Christ - Santa Claus. 

I'll never pass for a superman - 

I'm just an effect trying to find a cause. 

Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here. 

Is it because I'm flesh and blood 

That creature comforts feel so good? 

I give my body all it needs - 

It sleeps and eats and shits and breeds.

And if I keep my feelings stum, 

Hard luck - bibo ergo sum. 

Just trying to do the best I can 

Is a giant leap for this small man. 

All you needed was somebody with a dream, 

A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal. 

Only dead fish float with the stream - 

Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial. 

You say that life is a miracle - 

I don't believe one word. 

Forgive me for being so cynical - 

From down here you all look absurd. 

So are you happy now we all feel the same? 

Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal. 

You're afraid to go against the grain, 

Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual.

Sitting safe aboard the Enterprise. 

If you're out there send me a sign - 

I need somebody to sympathise with. 

Tell me who am I, what am I and why am I here. 

Must I succumb to every urge - 

First feast and fast (then binge and purge). 

My spirit's strong - my flesh is weak, 

I laugh and cry and scream and speak. 

And sometimes when i feel confused, 

I walk a path I did not choose. 

Watch my life on video - 

A private homemade horror show. 

All you needed was somebody with a dream, 

A fool to crucify or to put upon a pedestal. 

Only dead fish float with the stream - 

Compared with you I seem like an extra-terrestrial. 

So are you happy now we all feel the same? 

Martyrs to the cause - boredom level nearing terminal. 

You're afraid to go against the grain, 

Next to you I feel like a shining intellectual. 

You say that life is a miracle - 

I don't believe one word. 

Forgive me for being so cynical - 

From down here you all look absurd.
