[Verse 1]
Yes, I'm institutional, but that's okay with me
I love these walls and lonely halls
It's where I'm supposed to be

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I'm lyin' awake at night, oh, reeling from my meds
There's something flying around my face, buzzin' around my head

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Flies
These damn flies
I hate these flies
Kill the flies

[Verse 2]
Everybody's so kind to me, they feed me every day
And walk me 'round these lovely grounds
It's home to me this way

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I'm standing in a trance, staring at thе clear blue sky
I know that they'rе all watching me, just waiting for me to die

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Flies
These damn flies
I hate these flies
Kill the flies

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I'm standing in a trance, staring at the midnight sky
I know that they're all watching me, just waiting for me to die

[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Chorus]
Flies
These damn flies
I hate these flies
I'm gonna kill the flies
All these flies
I hate these flies
