lifeblood: songs: lyrics: spider


welcome to a strange feast
your host the fundamentalist or capital beast
the ones expected expect it the least
fall in the silk feel
but clang goes the hammer it's stronger than steel
spinnerets
drag lines and pedipalps
it's a cache you're buying in you're not getting out
no browbeating sanctions or chest beating
the most dangerous enemy appears to be sleeping
that's the company you're keeping

spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for
spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for

dog days
dog days i'm sirius
mercurial god of financial gain
souls of the underworld
we all know
jesus walked on water
but so does the fishing spider
as the story goes so goes the fighter
the end
it's been foretold
so what are the chances escaping the web scape between the branches
or there in the corners or under the bed or the tangle of thoughts that make up your head
no contest between the spider and you
ha
eight legs are faster than two

spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for
spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for

spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for
spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for

spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for
spider in your empty web
what are you waiting for
