[Verse]
Welcome, this is a farmhouse
We have cluster flies, alas
And this time of year is bad
We are so very sorry
There is little we can do
But swat them

[Pre-Chorus]
She didn't beg, oh, not enough
She didn't stay when things got tough
I told a lie and she got mad
She wasn't there when things got bad

[Chorus]
I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
Never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright
I never ever saw the northern lights (This is a farmhouse)
I never really heard of cluster flies (Cluster flies, alas)
Never ever saw the stars so bright (This is a farmhouse)
In the farmhouse things will be alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

[Guitar Solo]
