Standard (EADGBE)

 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.
