The Spider
There's a spider in the drain and he's feeling pain
And he doesn't want to die any more than you or I
He's struggling to live, but he doesn't have much time
Any more than you or I, you or I
We've got to die, we've got to live
We got to take what we can get
We sell ourselves for petty change
And when we die, we rearrange
It's time to take it back again
It's time to take it back again
I want you to love me like I love you
There's nothing more for me to say
I spoke my piece, I'll go on my way
And fare thee well where'er you go
You might need help, but I won't know
'Cause I'm up in here in my own cell
It could be heaven, it could be hell
We'll never know just who we are
'Cause when we die we become a star
And stars can't talk because they have
No mouth to speak about their past
They simply shine up in the sky
And give their light to you and I
And where would we be without their light?
We'd call out names and then start a fight
But then again, that's what we do
I hate me and I hate you too
'Cause I'm in pain just like the spider
In the drain, I am a fighter
But I can't win, I've got to lose
Give me strength to see me through
And ease the pain that I must feel
As my bones break and I taste the steel
As I go down the drain
I'm insane
And he doesn't want to die any more than you or I
He's struggling to live, but he doesn't have much time
Any more than you or I, you or I
We've got to die, we've got to live
We got to take what we can get
We sell ourselves for petty change
And when we die, we rearrange
It's time to take it back again
It's time to take it back again
I want you to love me like I love you
There's nothing more for me to say
I spoke my piece, I'll go on my way
And fare thee well where'er you go
You might need help, but I won't know
'Cause I'm up in here in my own cell
It could be heaven, it could be hell
We'll never know just who we are
'Cause when we die we become a star
And stars can't talk because they have
No mouth to speak about their past
They simply shine up in the sky
And give their light to you and I
And where would we be without their light?
We'd call out names and then start a fight
But then again, that's what we do
I hate me and I hate you too
'Cause I'm in pain just like the spider
In the drain, I am a fighter
But I can't win, I've got to lose
Give me strength to see me through
And ease the pain that I must feel
As my bones break and I taste the steel
As I go down the drain
I'm insane
