John Coffey Eagle Chasing Flies Lyrics

[Verse]
You chose to live as an eagle but you're only chasing flies
Impossible, is just never been done before
I wasn't looking for a present I just wanted to unfold one
I can't thank you enough, but all this'll pass

[Pre-Chorus]
You're an eagle chasing flies, an eagle chasing

[Chorus]
This is the right time to hold on
Or to turn your feathers in
This is the right time to hold on
And change my beggar's skin
Now who the beggar be, is it you or is it me?

[Verse]
We'd rather die on our feet than live on our knees
You roll the dice!
You roll the dice!
But then again
We'd rather live on our knees than to die on the streets

[Pre-Chorus]
You're an eagle chasing flies, an eagle chasing

[Chorus]
Is this the right time to hold on
Or to turn my feathers in?
Is this the right time to hold on?
And change my beggar's skin

You're an eagle chasing flies
An eagle chasing flies
An eagle chasing flies
An eagle chasing

[Chorus]
Is this the right time to hold on
Or to turn my feathers in?
Is this the right time to hold on
And change my beggar's skin

This is the right time
To turn my feathers in
