[COMPANY:] September 3rd, 1975 The moment a blue fly takes flight It pa**es a fruit stand and lands on a fig As the new owner's taking a bite One block away at an outdoor cafe As the wind makes a table cloth dance Even before the fly lands on a girl The girl's getting sick in advance Oooh Down on a street a man holds a receipt He's returning a ring to a store Not two flights above him a boy fills a box With his favorite gla** marble and old diecast car and a comic and coins from the war Adds a watch from his father and closes the lid Hide the box in a hole in the floor [BOY:] Where I keep it ten thousand times before Where you'll never find it [COMPANY:] Ohhh High on the breeze in a flying trapeze The fly meets a girl in mid-air And for one shining moment it feels like there's no one else there The girl thinks she sees the fly smiling [SUZANNE:] Is that fly actually smiling?
