Halo Of Flies Lyrics

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-terrestrialI'm not your Robin Hood or Peter Pan
I won't play Jesus Christ or Santa Claus
I'll never pass for a superman
I'm just an effect trying to find a causeTell me who am I?
What am I and why am I here?
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 eats and sleeps and shits and breedsAnd 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 manAll 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-terrestrialYou say that life is a miracle
I don't believe one word
Forgive me for being so cynical
From down here you all look absurdSo 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 intellectualJames T Kirk, Albert Einstein
Sitting safe aboard the Enterprise
If you're out there send a sign
I need somebody to sympathize withTell me who am I?
What am I and why am I here?
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 speakAnd sometimes when I feel confused
I walk a path I did not choose
Watch my life on video
A private homemade horror showAll 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-terrestrialSo 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 intellectualYou say that life is a miracle
I don't believe one word
Forgive me for being so cynical
From down here you all look absurdYou say that life is a miracle
I don't believe one word
Forgive me for being so cynical
From down here you all look absurdYou say that life is a miracle
I don't believe one word
