about

Say your holding hands with someone and you begin to feel the sweat of a coyote wake-up beginning to build and it's only the first ten minutes of the movie. She wants you but you're not sure. Hooking up was once a new sport but fully invested within not an easy hold to slip out of. This is a slow song for the end of an evening when the wine has run dry and the plates are attracting slime. One set of lengthy guitar solos intertwined with a rounded insistent bass line make for an easy to swallow backdrop for the story. It all sounds kind of fraught until the end when the listener realizes that an adult IS in charge. The song is versatile and could lose between 30 and 45 seconds if needed.

lyrics

BLACK FLY
words and music © 2011 Desmond Grundy (SOCAN)

Is every Black Fly blind?
I know I'm getting bitten
My skin is hardly hidden
Nearly hurtin' now

Is every black fly blind?
Aiming for a killing
Ready but not willing
To come down and land

You're my black fly
You're my black fly
(And she lands...)

What every black fly reads
See it with their eyes
Infra-red I realize
Is the wandering pain

What every black fly needs
The dangerous lifestyle
Too many parties
And a taste for blood

Ooh ooh, dangerous lifestyle
Aah, aah, too much penetration
Ooh, ooh, friends with x-ray machines and chronic depression
She's that black fly, you know the one.
Stings you once, stings you twice and you're done

Is every black fly to be feared?
They manipulate then weedle
Then stick you with a needle
right through your skin
