Armored Saint - Fly In The Ointment

Lyrics to Fly In The Ointment by Armored Saint

Like water for a cactus I'm in need of a long cold drink Like a tree in the forest Before it's chopped down it has anxiety On the road rev up the engine I'm playing chicken and I ain't gonna turn Though it's icy conditions I find a way to always get burned Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment Soaring godwit on tired wings Here comes a rockslide and I'm underneath Speed to the surface and risk the bends Always conclusive just a matter of when When With a sleeve of emotions I walk the beat with posture that's curved Getting by fit and able A dotted line with a learning curve If the motor malfunctions I need an off-hours handyman And get back to the ruckus A sugar fix for a kid in candy land Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment Soaring godwit on tired wings Avalanche a coming pull up the sheets Speed to the surface and risk the bends Weathered but pompous cause I know where I've been Bend the throttle Briefly interrupted Out of my hands And no longer captive Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment Soaring godwit on tired wings Oncoming rock slide and I'm underneath Soaring godwit on tired wings Oncoming rock slide and I'm underneath Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment Fly in the ointment
