UPTIGHT
(lyrics: the fly/Tron)
Perilous precarious pole position
Soak it all in and twist the ignition
Not juss kiddin’ nor fuckin’ around
Getting blessed when I press the pedal
To the ground
It makes the best sound and blast the box office
Blows yer house down unacceptable losses
Profits of doom, no room at the inn
No where to run
To let the game begin
What pints are on special?
Supercan of spam on the side
Hold the fries then cork the wine
Wait for the porcupine to cross the road
Then take the c-train to the frog and toad
Chorus: We never know why
You do what you do
Now you’re gonna get
What’s coming to you
Uptight
Against the grain
In a Mercury Retrograde
Crack the code
Beat street soul renegade
Imprisoned in a prism
Of a pyramid scheme
Misfit out of luck
In a sci-fi dream
Stagnant in quadrants
karmas haunted
Opened up my present
And it wasn’t what I wanted
Heads in a vice
No numbers on the dice
Pulled another scam
got me held up in the heist
With their meathead tactics
Bullying antics
Dodging cock blocks
I’m a man who’s romantic
Drowned in addiction
Causing me friction
Empty beer cans
Careless cooking in the kitchen
Quit my daydream
Pitched a tent in the dark
Like I’m high on bath salts
At Calaway Park
Chorus: We never know why
You do what you do
Now you’re gonna get
What’s coming to you
Uptight
Pleasure centre under pressure
Patio shitshow
Weathervane watermains crackin’ in the subzero
Icequake weather warning
Landslide Taliban
Leatherfaced weatherman s
Suntan to Burning man
3rd degree blisters, blizzard conditions whiteout
Snowblind driving on the black ice walkabout
Sandstorm in the outback in a blackout
Dunebuggystuck in a mudbog
Bloodmouth lung blood phlegm
From my face tastes tonsilicious
Can’t reach the canteen
Smashing dinner dishes (Opa!)
Okotoks road blocks drive thru’s check stops
Got the right of way on a pleasure cruise
Lighthouse foghorn, where’s the ocean liner
Sonar beepin Gps speakin seekin out hider
Easy rider rodeo clownshow showdown
Downtown bullfight
Bite the bullet
Uptight
Chorus: We never know why
You do what you do
Now you’re gonna get
What’s coming to you
Uptight
Comin up from the void
A cliffhanger linger
They said the funk was dead
But hey smell my finger
Pressing plans
I gotta propagate
Gotta freak the funky phone
We gotta agitate
So you go your way
I go my way
Living it up
In a deja vu replay
Origami centerfold
A freaky situation
Waterbed leaking
With their evil accusations
Echelons scaling
Cheese elite sailing
Deniars lying
In the slime that their trailing
Picking at the scab
A stack of attacks
I kiss them right back
With a stack of wax
In the carnage jaded
Drunk in the quest
Spot the trick trade
As I pass the test
With precision
Got me picking up the slack
Override the barricade
Unleash the trap
Lifeline, deadline
Uptight to cross the line
On my knees to testify
A warrior
A champion
Chorus: We never know why
You do what you do
Now you’re gonna get
What’s coming to you
Uptight

GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK
(lyrics: the fly/Sammy Jean/Rubix)
The Ace is thrown
You’re all in for too many souls
You’ve givin up up more than
You had a right to hold
Got Jacked upon the lies
From underneath your belt
A Royal Flush for all the
Cards that weʼve been dealt
You say your words are
Worth more when theyʼre
Cocked In hand
Youʼre not outnumbered baby
But you are outmanned
Juxtaposed when judging
Just to feel justified
Well you’re a fool
To think our thoughts
Are separated
From our minds
(Rap)
So you thought that u knew
What you knew
and now yer pissed
For what the gods put you through
Spilled milk
Dismantled
Head blown like a gasket
Deadpan mannequin
A Ninja
Just to mask it
You hold the grudge
Cuz someone’s burnt the match
Tried to forge ahead but
Couldn’t seize the snatch
Hiding with the devils and the demons
In the darkness
Staring at a mirror
You’re seeing a living carcass
Chorus:
We say good guys wear black
So why u buggin? (2x)
Weʼre bitter pills and
Were here just to plant the seed
Awaken minds, redemption
Smack the hand of greed
You’re colorblind
And now weʼve had to
Fade to black
When will you learn
Compassions what you really lack
We play the muse
Because we can and cuz we care
Our master plan will profit
With some change to spare
A world asleep
Itʼs time to melt time
From itʼs freeze and we believe
The very arms you raise
Will bring you to your knees
(Rap)
Black
A dress code in effect
Dipped into the magic
Slipped the intercept
Airwaves toxic
A groove removed
Turned a false profit
Out of something used
I’m in the stealth
I’m colored in the jet
My wisdom
Will interrupt the system
Like a threat
Use my pencil and my bars
Like a mental camouflage
Mirage of the real
Conceals potential sabotage
(chorus)
Was all bout lovin’
Love

BLACKBELTS REVENGE
(lyrics: the fly)
Slippin’ off the edge
Getting lost in the maze
Spinnin as yer trippin at the
In the dust in the haze
They try to push u over
If you’re standing to tall
Been told a thousand times
That u would never fall
But when your wings have been snipped
By the chip off the block
Burned as u were searching
For the key to the lock
Don’t believe a man just cuz
The man can talk
Cuz the dude don’t have a clue
If the dude can’t rock
Rock out
Chorus: Need sumthin new
What the hell u gonna do
U try to fly but yer trapped (2x)
So u rest on the brink
Listen to the music that
Makes u think
U ain’t nuthin’ but a champ (2x)
Slip into a coma
Put a freeze on the clock
Slip into a uniform
To make u feel on top
Itz more than evident
Its more than relevant
To portray a plastic image
Thatz intelligent
U’ve gotta fake more moves thatz
Slick to fit the bill
Feelin’ pretty fly
Cuz yer dressed to kill
Yer easily amused
When u finad a cheap thrill
Yer runnin outta time
But the time stands still
A fly on a wall
Seen it all before
U keep it camouflaged
A social troubadour
Don’t believe the hype
To reach the high to the five
Put the pedal to the metal
Cuz yer still alive
To rock out
Chorus: Need sumthin new
What the hell u gonna do
U try to fly but yer trapped (2x)
So u rest on the brink
Listen to the music that
Makes u think
U ain’t nuthin’ but a champ (2x)

They
(lyrics: the fly/Xam Eitsirhc)
They tried to hide
What it is that that you’re feeling
And knowing what it is
That you’re really not
A static situation
A dismembered song
Just a drop in time
U’ll see
The ordinary dream
Was just a catalyst
To spawn a lazy day
Embraced the gloom inside
With a liberated mind
For plastic things to fade away
For sweet sunshine
When u breathe
U hold the key
To the ordinary scheme
As we shed some light
Upon a shady day
Chorus: But they
Won’t let u be
What u want to be
They
Would put u down
When u know in yer heart
U’ll make the world feel better
They
Can’t see what it is
That u want to see
They
Can’t hear that sound
They tried to groom u
And fool u
Their stealing
And knowing what it is
You really want
A sonic repetition
Monotone thought
Justified
Take back the steal
The opiate to feel
As empty vessels fill
To thrive another way
Arose and stayed on track
While dwelling in the black
A ray of lights’
Not far away
No looking back
And as it comes
And pulls u through
Break the old
Rebuild the new
As empty vessels dream
To dig another day
Chorus

After Hours
(lyrics: the fly)
A full moon
Access granted
A freak coming out
For a night enchanted
I’ve got an itch
Car is a club
Rendezvous
Lothario scenario
A sweet taboo
I’m on the fringe
A fiend to feed
And the need to binge
That’s right
I’ve got it going on
Hobgoblin
Dancing in the octagon
I’m restless
I’m reckless
Chance a glance
I’m in infectious
Satiate the crave
Scoop down below
Pop tart
A la mode
Sparks fly
I turn the lights down low
As you wish to slip
Into my abode
Chorus: After hours
The lights glow dim
Freaks come out for a better way
Escape
An erotic side of dawn
It was the guilty pleasures for sure
After hours
The nights gone grim
Afraid to face another break of day
The sun has spawned
You kept it goin’ on
Now you’re a freaky mutha fukka
And we’re out
So let’s grind
Silhouette in the window
A dirty wet secret
In-nuendo
I sense a glitch
Take a ili dip
Into my mixture
A smooth marinade
A slick elixir
Decadent
Gratify the urge
Fall for the bait
I’m on the verge
I’m tight
Yo check my flare
Take you on a ride
Air Debonair
Voyeur to the allure
Amass to the appeal
Neon lights
I’m something real
I’m greasy
And I’m sleazy
Chances are that I’m easy
My nose knows
Suck up the dust
As I delete the thread
In this world of lust
Chorus: After hours
The lights glow dim
Freaks come out for a better way
Escape
An erotic side of dawn
It was the guilty pleasures for sure
After hours
The nights gone grim
Afraid to face another break of day
The sun has spawned
You kept it goin’ on
Now you’re a freaky mutha fukka
And we’re out
After hours, the lights glow dim
Freaks come out for a better way (2x)

Fade
(lyrics: Sammy Jean/the fly)
Your polished groove and all your moves
Calculate perfectly
You walk with ease
And easily portray sagacity
You witness faults
With no remorse
You speak sarcastically
With every breathe
Towards the ground
You’re looking down on me
You’re paradoxal and illogical with reason
You’re purpose lies within your lies
Yet you believe them
How many poisons did you take
to hold such hatred in your veins?
It courses under innocence you claim
Chorus: Lookin’ into your reality
You had it all
And we will never understand
The choices that you’ve made
And now that you have ended your fantasy
You look to us
And there is nothing you can do
As we just watch you fade
Could your devils and your angels
Be confused on you
Or is your conscience just an entity
You do not use
You’re camouflaged
With all your walls
The self-protection that you make
On the surface
Clothed in layers that will break
No comparison that could be made
You are exactly as you feign
We ride before you run out of time
Chorus: Lookin’ into your reality
You had it all
And we will never understand
The choices that you’ve made
And now that you have ended your fantasy
You look to us
And there is nothing you can do
As we just watch you fade

PUNK FOR LOVE
(lyrics: the fly/Tron/Sabo Forte)
Trons in the house and remains intact
Sabos on the floor with the cold hard facts
The fly walk the line
Like Johnny Cash
Stepping on stage all dressed in black
Flow so funny I forgot to laugh
With your fly hung low
Cock caught in the trap
Smash the wine glass
Unleash the strap
To diffuse the defects
And we’re here to snap!!
Heavy on my haunches
Semi unconscious
Brunches for breakfast
My clothing line launches
Follow my hunches
Livin’ in the hockey hub
Aurora Borealis
From my u-haul hot tub
Rappin at the Castle
Got turned to Blist
Which become goth hockey
Now its come to this
True grits in my gullet
Hot chocolate in my goblet
Crabs off the bucket
Pick pockets on my wallet
I’m on a flip phone
Tron blows away zone
Overflowparking
In the parts unknown
Chorus:
Punk for love
A discerning taste
Erase the hate
With a hardcore attitude
Push comes to shove
A distorted bass
To win your love
A fly in the house
Let me contravene
Let me probe right in
Let me cause a scene
Cause I’ve sliced and slayed
Through the sludge for the sequel
A sequence, a frequence
A secret sound that’s lethal
Hellbent with the intent to vent
And now im tweaking up the tones
For sumthin different
Sush the sound of the screaming
Beat you to the punch
A catastrophe
Got yer panties in a bunch
With faded faces
Fazed in phases
Lookin’ for fun in all the wrong places
Patience the agent
Kept me from the plunge
The funk that I deliver
Leaves you sucking luck a sponge
Chorus
Back it up for
The battering ram
Sabo Forte first battalion
Lioness huntin, lion yes I am!
Rather be lyin’ down with a pettable friend
Heavy huffin
Towards unforgettable ends
Time travellin like wild stallions
Land in a place where we show no weakness
Break all the barricades
Weave through your defence
See through your weak fence
Every weekend
Is it the same shame
To play every cheap scheme
As it is to play absolutely no game
Fo sho, fo shame
Can’t stop change
Punk for love
Not love for gain
Whether benchwarmer
Or star performer on stage
Every roll can turn gold
If you game
Gotta treat em’ right
And freedom reigns
Punk for love (2x)
Resting on my laurels
Investing in the future
Passed out in the pasture
Faster than last year
Blist’ll out last ya
Blast ya then Boom
Monsanto soy beanbag chair
In the sunroom
Rock n roll mindflow
Faultline continent
Write down sounds
That are words you haven’t heard yet
Onomatophotopeiasynthesystems operator
Highspeed chase
Motorheadspace navigator
Invader, navigator
High steaks marinator
Got turduckens in the incubator
Leaning on the horn
Porn on the radio
Ignoring boring warnings
“Cuz its time for the Fly show”
Chorus:
Punk for love
Fer discerning tastes
Erase the hate
With a hardcore attitude
Push comes to shove
A distorted bass
To win your love

Animate
(lyrics: Erin May/the fly)
Have these thoughts in my head
These days of dread
Time keeps on ticking
Wishin’ work was finished but instead
Come up somewhat slow
Maintain my tempo
Not get drowned out by my fears
When they start to roll
Wait and debate?
Race to keep the pace?
Ignore the door that’s knocked on
By the hands of fate?
Dreams come up like the burning sun
Realized will I feel
I’ve won
Chorus: Don’t stop…animate.
There’s no need to eliminate
Open your mind
Ask what’s the buzz
Drag you out of the mud
Is what it does
Don’t you hesitate
Gotta give a little time
To let it laminate
Cuz you design each time you rise
Create this world with your own eyes
Livin feels so easy
Drops you to your knees
Leaves you wonderin’ how you knew it
Blew it like the breeze
Work hard then hardly caring
Lost the inkling then your staring
Praying for some kind of hope
At a blank page staring
These times were the fruit of the vine
Recline into the essence
Let expression find
Itz the way onto your palette
Color your mind
Make the time each day
To freak and shine
Chorus
Through the set up rules
To the truth of youth
Mornin noon and night
Do what you do
Don’t embrace mistakes as faults made
But the means that got your
Current state of grace
Memories
In their place
Know there’s a greater history
At stake
Movin with the muse
A chance you take
Refind your mind
To penetrate
Chorus
Splatter matter
With a lyrical flow
To the dawn
The movement keeps us
Growing strong
And on our lips
Whispers of light and
Feelin right
To free your love is
Half the fight
A little spunk
To put the bounce to the ball
Trip on happy accidents
A break to the fall
Rollin’ with the heart
No need to define
The course of expression
Our lives divine
Chorus

Life is On
(lyrics: Sonal)
Lately I’ve been trying to find my way
To a place
Where life is more than empty space
Wonderin’ where I belong
Just don’t fit in
Cause I choose not to play along
Chorus: Life is on for me
I’ve got a new way
It’s a new play
I’ve got a one way ticket
To a brighter day
Life is on for me
I’ve got a new way
It’s a new day
Finding ways to ease my mind
Because I’ve learned
That happiness is hard to find
But now I know it’s within me
To live, to breathe
The changes that I need to see
Chorus: Life is on for me
I’ve got a new way
It’s a new play
I’ve got a one way ticket
To a brighter day
Life is on for me
I’ve got a new way
It’s a new day
Bridge: It’s within me
To live the changes
I need to see
And I don’t have the energy
To be anybody other than me
And I don’t want to waste my time
Sittin’ here feeling’ like I’m living a lie
It’s a new way, a new day
I’m gonna do it my way
A new way
A new day
Chorus
