lyrics

how long before the sleep now
my love
how long before sleep now
the fly
having lived
one day of life is ready
to surrender to the silence

so how long before the heat now
my love
how long before heat now
the red-purple passion
burning to jump trains
in the middle of the night

like a million flies
almost all at once
rushing into the station

so how long before too late now
my love
how long before the train now
my love
the skin, nose, nails yearning
to heal the static
of breathing in
the morning

how deep into the eye now
my love
how deep into I now
my love
the hive in cave
the buzz in body
all now ready
to beat the retreat

like a million flies
almost all at once
rushing into the station

how long before the retreat now
my love
how long before train now
my love
the sound of fall
traffic and rain
the sound of old vinyl
popping again
the sound of the wheel
on the track distracts me
like the static in an
old song reminds me

so how long before the pop now
my love
how long before
POP!

like a million flies
almost all at once
rushing into the station

quite like the fly
ready am i
ready am I
quite like the fly
