King of the Flies

right from the start i got it wrong
i did the things i shouldn´t have done
i´m between the devil and the deep blue sea
now someone else looks after me
i stole every minute from time´s locked doors
add sold used souls in bargain stores
without a conscience i was king of the flies
i laid in gutters and told you lies

yellow light bulb
lights go out at ten o'clock
bolted steel door
this time they´ll throw the key away
cold grey floorstone
it feels like home now
not another sleepless night
how do the flies get in and out

i changed the rules to suit myself
i swapped my heart for something else
stuck between the devil and an overdose
i played hands tied with the holy ghost
well i made some money on my way down
i dragged my friends into the ground
get behind me satan if you want your share
this cell is more than i can bear

yellow light bulb
lights go out at ten o'clock
bolted steel door
this time they´ll throw the key away
cold grey floorstone
it feels like home now
not another sleepless night
how do the flies get in and out
