This stupid song was written as a warm up to the instrumental, "The Stage Brush Fire Wagon Show Comes To Berwick". The opening scream was inspired by Prince. At this point I finally figured out how to make drum sequences using the DX Oberheim drum machine. So in this case I was so excited about that, that I kept switching different drum patters for every verse. Silly, I know, but Gian DiMauro said he liked it and that meant a lot to me. The lyrics are just vague references to what the Nation Enquirer magazine was flaunting at the time.

lyrics

EVEN A FLY CAN BE BLIND

All those days and horny nights we stayed together
Jesus on the dashboard in a bag (Heh-heh)
You were still inflated when the bus came rollin' in
And I found your Porcelona™ 'neath the liner of my chin

Like some children in a Barbie "campulator"
We were mind in' my own business like we do
Your father called the jury
I felt like Peter Lori
And there you were this cry in' ape
Shoutin' "Sue!" and "Brutal rape!"

You know even a fly can be blind
As long as there is honey, it's temptation through and through
Lord, even a fly can be blind
So watch out for that sticky stuff and drop the mayor's daughter
Watch out for that sticky stuff and drop the mayor's daughter
Ahhhhowwwwwwwww!
What does that mean?

Now those days and horny nights are spent in prison
Jesus on the toilet in my bag
After all it wasn't me who wanted to be whipped
And I never had experience with propane collared strips

But honestly the life here ain't that ugly
Fact, the isolation ain't that bad
I got some time to write a book and win back all my money
And I still have all those negatives of you in bed with Daddy!

Lord, even a fly can be blind!
Lord, make a mistake any time!
Don't mess with the mayor's daughter
Unless you got negatives back home!

The Priest : Very nice Phillup. Now get back into the closet!

ANGRY KOINK plays here...
