Armored Saint - Fly in the Ointment

Текст песни

Like water for a cactus
I’m in need of a long cold drink
Like a tree in the forest
Before it’s chopped down it has anxiety
On the road rev up the engine
I’m playing chicken and I ain’t gonna turn
Though it’s icy conditions
I find a way to always get burned
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
Soaring godwit on tired wings
Here comes a rockslide and I’m underneath
Speed to the surface and risk the bends
Always conclusive just a matter of when
When
With a sleeve of emotions
I walk the beat with posture that’s curved
Getting by fit and able
A dotted line with a learning curve
If the motor malfunctions
I need an off-hours handyman
And get back to the ruckus
A sugar fix for a kid in candy land
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
Soaring godwit on tired wings
Avalanche a coming pull up the sheets
Speed to the surface and risk the bends
Weathered but pompous cause I know where I’ve been
Bend the throttle
Briefly interrupted
Out of my hands
And no longer captive
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
Soaring godwit on tired wings
Oncoming rock slide and I’m underneath
Soaring godwit on tired wings
Oncoming rock slide and I’m underneath
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
Fly in the ointment
