One of a number of dense, sprawling epics (along with “Pink Maggit” and “Passenger”) which were far removed from the primal punch of past hits, “Change (In the House of Flies)” was released as the first single from Deftones' third album White Pony in May of 2000.

[Verse 1]
I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
[Chorus]

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
[Outro]
You've changed
You've changed
You've changed
