Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee cups clink in the break room hush Name tags flash like warning lights Eyes roll hard when the door swings shut Truth comes out in the fluorescent white They lean in close over powdered cream Spilling lives on paper plates I’m stuck outside this thin blue glass Chewing on my tongue I wait [Chorus] If I could be a fly on the wall Buzz in the dark by the picture frames Hear every “you won’t believe this” call Every sharp little crooked name If I could be a stain in the hall Just a speck where the secrets fall Oh I’d know it all If I could be a fly on the wall [Verse 2] Bar stools tilt when the night runs long Whispered sins in a jukebox glow Loose lips slip on the cheap red wine Phones face down so it doesn’t show You walk out laughing I’m left dumb Staring holes in the swinging door Wish I could cling to the exit sign Catch your truth before it hits the floor [Chorus] If I could be a fly on the wall Buzz in the dark by the picture frames Hear every “you won’t believe this” call Every sharp little crooked name If I could be a stain in the hall Just a speck where the secrets fall Oh I’d know it all If I could be a fly on the wall [Bridge] What would I do with the dirt I’d find? (yeah) Would it eat me up from the inside? Or would I just laugh Just shake my head Sticky feet Too wired for bed [Chorus] If I could be a fly on the wall Buzz in the dark by the picture frames Hear every “you won’t believe this” call Every sharp little crooked name If I could be a stain in the hall Just a speck where the secrets fall Oh I’d know it all If I could be a fly on the wall
Tags
rock, Swaggering garage-rock groove, crunchy overdriven guitars and a bouncy, walking bass line. Male vocals with a sly, conspiratorial edge; verses stay tight and talky, choruses open up with shout-along hooks and gang vocals. Snappy drums push the tempo, tambourine on the backbeat in the hook. Short, scratchy guitar fills answering vocal lines to keep it playful and gritty.
