Lyrics

A buzz in the window, A spot on the wall
You’d rather be seeing, well, nothing at all.
It blends in a shadow. It sits on a peach,
Then appears on the ceiling just out of your reach
You grab a fly swatter, whatever’s at hand
But before you flatten it Look at it again

imagine imagine
Imagine you found
Imagine you found a fly on mars
imagine imagine
Imagine you found
Imagine you found a fly on mars

We’ve been spending billions exploring the sky
We hope to discover microbial life.
So think how we’d marvel to find such a thing :
The vermilion eyes, the diaphanous wings!
It can turn on a dime, it can land on a ceiling!
So before you crush it look at it again

imagine imagine
Imagine we found
Imagine we found a fly on mars
imagine imagine
Imagine we found
Imagine we found a fly on mars

We live on a planet with plenty of fish
And each of us chases an elusive wish.
We’re quick to uncover, as quick to discard
But maybe you’ll remember when you look at the stars
How I’d hoped to be that precious thing
And maybe consider seeing me again

imagine imagine
Imagine that I
Imagine that I’m a fly on mars
imagine imagine
Imagine you found
Imagine you found a fly on mars
