Ulidiidae (formerly Otitidae) is a large and diverse cosmopolitan family of flies, and, as in related families, most species are herbivorous or saprophagous. They are often known as picture-winged flies, along with members of other families in the superfamily Tephritoidea that have patterns of bands or spots on the wings. Most species share with the Tephritidae an unusual elongated projection of the anal cell in the wing, but can be differentiated by the smoothly-curving subcostal vein.

Ticket To Lie

by: Texas

Attention annoys me I could disappoint
So just take a walk and try to avoid
The cars in the street now they could knock you down
So just take a bus it's a long way down
There's a ticket in my hand
If you want
I don't know what you think
* Tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Close your eyes I'll take you there
I could take you anywhere come fly
Tell me what you want to do
And I can make it up for you and lie
Laughter annoys me makes me feel sad
Yes I wrote that book, can I have it back
There's black all around me and I'm lost in this crowd
There's no coming back cause I'm on my way down
There's a ticket in my hand
I can't use it without you
(*Repeat)
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Close your eyes I'll take you there
I could take you anywhere come fly
So tell me where you want to go
Take a breath when I ask you to just try
Tell me what you want to do
And I can make it up for you and lie
So tell me where you want to go
