It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
Y'know I don't see you when she walks in the room
Low Voice
A man will beg
A man will crawl
On the sheer face of love
Like a fly on a wall
It's no secret at all
Gospel Voice
Love, we shine like a
Burning star
We're fallin' from
The sky... tonight
Low Voice
A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all
Gospel Voice
Love, we shine like a
Burning star
We're fallin' from
The sky... tonight

REMIXES
This is an interesting situation-- The Lounge Fly Mix is theoretically a mix of "The Fly"; however, it has altered lyrics and is very frequently considered a new song of its own. So the link above will take you to the Lounge Fly Mix's lyrics.VIDEO
Directed by Ritchie Smyth and Jon Klein. Concept: Bono walks the streets in his new black-leather Fly gear, manipulating massive banks of TV screens flashing ZOOTV messages (WATCH MORE TV, BELIEVE, EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG) with a huge overcomplicated remote. The band also performs in a small room as the lights swirl frantically.
