 Silly  fly where’s your self-control?
 You’re flying high and everyone’s  gone home.  Still you carry  on alone.
Silly  fly have you ever had enough?
 When there’s warning line  before too  much, still you just  can’t get  enough.
 (chorus)
 Silly  Fly, do you think that you’re a bird?
 Yeah your flying,  but you’re wings  are old and torn.
Silly  fly, do you think that that’s a star?
 Yeah it’s shining,  but you won’t get what you came  for.
 (verse - same as above)
 Silly fly your pestering the crowd.
 Your cleverness is all but wearing out and you’re just not coming down
 Silly fly you claim you lost a friend.
 But there was never one when you began, just a joker in a skin.
 (chorus - same as above)
 Silly Fly, do you think that you’re a bird?
 Yeah your flying, but you’re wings are old and torn.
 Silly fly, do you think that that’s a star?
 Yeah it’s shining, but you won’t get what you came for.
When  will you figure  out,  closer  to the sun  is further  from the ground...
Will  you scream  out loud?
 I was closing  on the sun  now I’m falling  to the ground.
Ground,  ground...
 (chorus - same as above)
 Silly Fly, do you think that you’re a bird?
 Yeah, your flying but you’re wings are old and torn.
 Silly fly, do you think that that’s a star?
 Yeah, it’s shining but you won’t get what you came for.
