Tad Dreis - Bug On The 4th Of July lyrics

There's a bat against an indigo sky Wheeling and darting to catch a fly There's a light on in the apartment Across the street There's no light on, out here on my porch There's a party next door with a bug torch Everybody wheeling and darting To catch an eye I'd like to laugh like a flystrip There's a star near a constellation Above the trees, making conversation Like all the gnats on the Zachs in their hats Out back I smell sweetly burning wax So I'll stay home and sharpen my ax Splitting hairs is clever work And it makes me grin But I'd like to laugh like a flystrip There's a light on across the street Glowing seductively at me I start to rise, then I'm paralyzed By the skies Flowers bloom across the sky A garden party for the fourth of July Everyone looks up and raises their cups And takes a sip And I'm laughing at the flystrip And I'm laughing on the flystrip
