The Fly (Songs Of Surrender) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by the moon
Y'know I don't see you when she walks in the room

[Verse 2]
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child

[Chorus]
(Lovе, we shine like a burning star)
(Wе're falling from)
A man will beg (The sky)
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love (Tonight)
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all

[Verse 3]
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
No secret ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about the grief
[Chorus]
(Love, we shine like a burning star)
(We're falling from)
A man will rise (The sky)
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love (Tonight)
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
(Love, we shine like a burning star)
(We're falling from)
A man will rise (The sky)
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love (Tonight)
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all

[Outro]
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cause of one man's lie
Look, I gotta go, yeah, I'm running outta change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
