Modest Mouse - Fly Trapped In A Jar Lyrics






Of part and parcel,
So well we're already dead,
Well it's probably been said,
That it's always been said,
That,

One wing isn't even enough,
It isn't even enough,
It isn't even enough,
It isn't even enough,
To leave,

One wing isn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,
(HAHAHA HAAA HAAA HA)

I'm gonna' shake myself right out the door,
I'm gonna' take myself when it's finally over,
I'm gonna' let my own bad self take over,
I'm gonna' move my arm out with my shoulder,
And

One wing wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,

One wing wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,

One wing wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
It wasn't even enough,
To leave,

First off Gary was on trial and drunk before we left bed,
As things got better was it hard to say that he had no idea,
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around,
So we all just opened up our mouths and walked to this town,
Well I was walking just a little bit sideways and you were walking sideways too,
Well I hadn't learned when a front door can be used,
Here it goes now...

We had darkened doors so we didn't read what the sign read
Though simple enough it was to me really tough the ground needs to be fed,
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they didn't really want us around,
So not a single one of us will ever leave town,
Here we go sir...

Our bodies were laid out,
They were laid for fifteen yards,
Well two feet above each of our heads was a fly trapped in a jar,
Well I hadn't noticed but the people really noticed that they really didn't want us around,
So every single one of us fed the ground,
HERE WE GO NOW...

One wing wasn't even uhh,
One wing wasn't even enough,

Oh pardon pardon,
So well it's already been said,
That it's always been said that
We're already dead

    My favorite Modest Mouse song on, what I think, is maybe the best album ever. It's definitely their best album.

    K.... P....

    @cheezywheezy11 I own everything they have out on Itunes, I love it all, but this album, to me, is the best.

    K.... P....

    Nah, man, Choking on a Mouthful of Lost Thoughts is where it's at.

    K.... P....

    I'm inclined to agree.
    For me, it's:

  24. M.... M....

    I used to think this song said "One life wasn't even enough...it wasn't even enough... to live." I like that better.

  25. c.... ....

    I pee my pants and it's just... great!

  26. s.... ....

    The bass line mainly.

  27. s.... ....

    This particular song reminds me alot of Franz Ferdinand

    s.... ....

    apart from ff being shite...it's just a similar rhythm?

    s.... ....

    The Mouse, original. Did you know that they were voted best new band after multiple albums?

  28. G.... ....

    I got to say I love your user name

  29. N.... ....

    Fantastic song, Love the last 30 seconds, just perfect.

  31. F.... ....

    Couldnt have said it better myself, friendo

  32. J.... P....

    JOHNNY MARR'S BEST OUTING THE SMITHS WERE SHIT!

  33. J.... P....

    107 MARKET STREET KILED EVERYONE!!!!

  34. K.... ....

    this is a long drive for someone whos too drink tp think p= f it

  35. K.... ....

    but does it?

  36. P.... ....

    Why does the ending of this remind me of Sabbath? (enter criticism for my quirky ear for musical references that probably don't even exist.)

  37. B.... D....

    @brrnay It's Demi and your grammar sux

  38. b.... ....

    @Rjmorg read the top comments, tard.. and it's semi.. also, i didn't capitalize a single word so why would eye capitalazesal 'i'? you're lame. hah.

  39. B.... D....

    @brrnay Cool* Demi* I*

  40. L.... F....

    modest mouse is fuckin deep ultra-artistic emotion

  41. D.... B....

    so trippy

  42. R.... H....

    Well I was walking just a little bit sideways, and you were walking sideways too.

    R.... H....

    Robbie H well I hadn't learned when a front door can used

  43. R.... H....

    This is the best song to listen to, after you smoke a bowl. I fucking promise you that. Listen to this whole album, blazed. Thank me later!

    R.... H....

    Robbie H you ever listen to Modest Mouse.....on weeeeed man???

    R.... H....

    It's so true, it's beautiful

    R.... H....

    My buddy didn't believe me. I put on March Into the Sea and he and I were dancing like stoney baloney until the whole thing had finished. he loves them now.

    R.... H....

    Robbie H Lmfao, the main reason I came here was to say it was funny af if you're high, I think I'm not that crazy then lol

  44. b.... ....

    what the fuck are you even saying everyone? kool.. pretty lame. modest mouse is so amazing that i guess your trying to come up with an adjective fit to describe them. i'd go with isaac is a semi-god with an iq greater than or equal to stephen hawking and a uniqueness that defies genre.. i guess? why the fuck am i even putting this... why the fuck are you guys doing the same?

    b.... ....

    brrnay because I'm stoned and board, aren't you?!

  45. C.... t....

    could you do me a favor and tell me where you found the tabs for this song? or if you did it by ear can you tell me which frets you used? i love this song and have been trying to find bass tabs for it and cant seem to do it just right by ear

  46. F.... ....

    @AlleyFunk I think you mean "koolest" or "KOOLEST" with KAPS LOCK because KAPS LOCK is KOOL.

  47. L.... ....

    it wasn't even enough, it wasn't even enough to LEAAAVE! ah...love it...
