Lyrics Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse

Fly Trapped in a Jar

Of part and parcel

Well, we're already dead and well,

it's probably been said

That it's always been said that

One wing isn't even enough

It isn't even enough

It isn't even enough to leave

One wing isn't even enough

It isn't even enough

It isn't even enough to leave

I'm gonna shake myself right out the door

I'm gonna take myself when it's finally over

I'm gonna let my old bad self take over

I'm gonna move my arm out with my shoulder

And one wing wasn't even enough

It wasn't even enough

It wasn't even enough to leave

One wing wasn't even enough

It wasn't even enough

It wasn't even enough to leave

One wing wasn't even enough

It wasn't even enough

It wasn't even enough to leave

First off, Gary was on trial and drunk before we left bed

As things got better wasn't hard to say that he had no idea

Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed

That they really didn't want us around

So we all just opened up our mouths and walked to this town

Well, I was walking just a little bit sideways

And you were walking sideways too

Well, I hadn't learned when a front door can be used,

here we go sir

We have darkened doors so we didn't read what the sign read

Though simple enough it was to me really tough

The ground needs to be fed

Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed

That they didn't really want us around

So not a single one of us will ever leave town,

here we go sir

Our bodies were laid out,

we were laid for fifteen yards

Well, two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar

Well, I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed

That they really didn't want us around

So every single one of us fed the ground, here we go now

One wing wasn't, wasn't even enough

One wing wasn't, wasn't even enough

Oh, pardon pardon,

so it's probably been said

That it's always been said, we were already dead
