Fly On The Wall

© 2014 Mark Cote

when Elvis said to Priscilla
his first "I Love you"
when john first talked to Paul
before love me do

when Jimi first strummed
a purple haze
on the wall I'm left in a daze

(chorus) on the wall
                  on the wall
                  fly on the wall
                  what it would be to be a fly on the wall
                  to see or hear sparks as they fall
                  to feel that moment when it's begun
                  to see the web as it's being spun
                  what it would be to be a fly on the wall

when Brian first penned
his Pet Sound
and his inward dreams
turned around

Dylan's words
in colored ink
would make a
generation think

Morrison's poetic somber
upon the wall I sit and ponder

(chorus)
