Lyrics (unofficial)

Please give me [a] second grace
Please give me [a] second face
I've fallen far down
The first time around
I just sit on the ground in your way

Now if it's time for recompense for what's done
Come, come sit down on the fence in the sun
And the clouds will roll by
And we'll never deny
It's really too hard for the fly

Please tell me your second name
Please play me your second game
I've fallen so far
For the people you are
I just need your star for a day

So come, come ride in my my street-car by the bay
For now I must know how fine you are in your way
And the sea sure will sigh
Then she won't need to cry
For it's really too hard for the fly
