Why do you look so tall?
Staring at you from the wall.
Looking at you from your bathroom tiles.
You know what you want 'cause it drives you higher.

Why do you look so old?
Staring at you through the mould.
You think you're alone when you're in the shower,
but I've been there for at least an hour.

Why do you look so tall?
Staring at you from the wall.
Looking at you from your bedroom ceiling,
you know that I'm there 'cause you got that feeling.

Why do you look so clean?
I know everywhere that you've been.
You think you're alone when you're in the shower,
but I've been there for at least an hour.

Now you know that you always cry in the night,
Mum and Dad, well they always seem to fight.
Well you know that you're gonna go round the bend.
All you know is that some day it has to end.

Well you know I'm the fly, (oh my)
like a secret spy, (oh my)
I once saw you get high, (oh my)
well you know I'm the fly.

Well the days they are old and the nights they are young,
never really that hard, I'm the number one.
When you look in the sky, you won't see the sun,
well you know I'm the fly, I'm the number one.

Well you know I'm the fly, (oh my)
like a secret spy, (oh my)
I once saw you get high, (oh my)
well you know I'm the fly.
