SPIDERS (2011)
1. The Thread of the Thing
ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah oh and the whosit and the whatsit and the stories of kings and the needle and the thread of the thing and the ladder at the scene and the cutting off at the knees in a little while i see that i love the way you came on i love the way you came on to me to me ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah oh
and the where is and the there is and the start of the fling but the riot breaks the thread of thing and the lenses ain't clean we'll need another tv screen in a little while i see but i love the way you came on i love the way you came on i love the way you came on i love the way you came on to me to me to me to me ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah oh
it weighs out, it weighs out.. and you know i love you i love you
2. The Passing
i wrapped you up in a paper cup and then got surprised you were drowning in love drowning in love i called a fish a flower i called you mine for an hour of love an hour of love there were days there were days there were days there were days there were hours there were days now i can see the time i can see the time passing i can see the time i can see the time passing the time passing by
see here’s the thing: i love being in motion and wrapped around you while wrapped around you i read you for the funnies i leap into the muddy so easy breezy there were days there were days there were days there were days there were hours there were days now i can see the time i can see the time passing i can see the time i can see the time passing the time passing by
and i can hear you i can hear you and i can hear you i can hear you (can hear you can hear you) i can hear you and i can see the time the time passing the time passing by
we’re lockin down we’re lockin down and i wrap you up
3. Mine
i lost the thing the ring that was never mine i fall asleep and sing these lines mine mine mine mine there was a love a right way to survive i couldn’t help but die mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine so what’s in store for our heroine can she climb to the top of him should she be allowed to share the stage or is it time to turn the page
can not believe i believed i could have one step ahead of the last i’m not above the past to show me how but i am a brand-new fucking shiny ball of wow wow wow mine mine is it mine mine so what’s in store for our heroine can she climb to the top of him should she be allowed to share the stage or is it time to turn the page
so what’s in store for our heroine can she climb to the top of him should she be allowed to share the stage or is it time to turn the page on the thing the thing that was never mine mine is it mine mine
i fall asleep and sing i fall asleep and sing i fall asleep and sing i fall asleep and sing
4. Dead Dads and Sad Moms
all along at the end i see shells you could’ve wanted haunts you would’ve haunted waves you didn’t like in the dark dark blue we are drivin up long island to watch the seagulls flyin over dollars made of sand crabshoes cryin for the first time the lonely wake up glad show me why they’re all not sad i came here to say that you were all of her yesterdays i came here to see if you could tell me how to make her believe
the lifeguards knew the way comin up for air in red on the self-same day where are they now?
crabshoes cryin for the first time the lonely wake up glad show me why they’re all not sad i came here to say that you were all of her yesterdays i came here to see if you could tell me how to make her believe
all along at the end
5. Was
i was everything you i was or was that me or was and when a bottle top makes a final shot it’s time to say the is the is the is of the was of the is of the was of the not of the maybe maybe when we’re forty which ain’t too far to plot
i’s raised to lose i’s raised it came to you to break ‘cause when a bottle top makes the final shot it’s time to say the is the is the is of the was of the is of the was of the not of the maybe maybe when we’re forty which ain’t too far to plot
i can’t help but look at the shape of your face stare at your shinbones freckles on yer arm and think that 1980 was a really good year for shapes and faces and shinbones and freckles on arms
while i was in the bathroom you was at the mall before we even met it’s funny how things get fucked up so fast ‘cause when a bottle top makes the final final final final final shot it’s time it’s time to say it’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time it’s time the is of the was of the is of the was of the not of the maybe
maybe when we’re eighty which ain’t too far
6. Pull
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh the edge o’ dusk and the last breath out of us all you’re lyin’ down and backward under the snow we all fall into the ropin’ off of the show it’s hard to see out from inside of a home you know why you’re waiting you know why you’re waiting you know what you’re waiting for you know why you’re waiting you know why you’re waiting you know what you’re waiting for and it’s all love and it’s all love
y’pickin up that the reasons they all can change y’somehow thought you were really over the pain but y’figured out that the least you could understand your heart is open to someone else’s hand you know why you’re waiting you know why you’re waiting you know what you’re waiting for you know why you’re waiting you know why you’re waiting you know what you’re waiting for and it’s all love and it’s all love
and the last way out is the last hanger down and the movie can begin again and the right way to go is to rock until you roll ‘cause your love ain’t left no your love ain’t left behind
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh you know why you’re waiting you know why you’re waiting you know what you’re waiting for (and we all love and we all love and we all love and we all love)
the edge o’ dusk and the last breath out of us all you’re lyin’ down and takin’ care of the snow
7. Black People
i dreamt you were using black people to blow off steam i dreamt you were using black people to build your machines and why didn’t i cry i thought i heard you say they died it seems that they got away but you tracked them down and made them stay they put up a fight you didn’t bat an eye and we all went home again
i dreamt you were using black people to change a tire i dreamt you were using black people to get inspired i thought you heard me say they died so why don’t you cry it seems that they got away but i tracked them down i made them stay they put up a fight i didn’t bat an eye i didn’t bat i didn’t bat an eye i didn’t bat i didn’t bat an eye i didn’t bat i didn’t bat an eye
oh and we all go home again
8. In The Way
how do you fall in love in a week how do you get away how do you see if the cracks in the plan are the reasons that you play the game why do you think you know where we stand and how do i get away you’re taking the menu right to the fan i’ll have the strawberry shortcake to take and the what is and the what is in the way and the what is and the what is in the way
when is the right time to draw the marker line? when i cry how fucked up is that when will i behave relative to change relative to pain and the what is and the what is in the way and the what is and the what is in the way
how did we fall in love in a week and how do we get away how do we see if the cracks in the plan are the reasons that we play the game and the what is and the what is and the what is and the what is and the what is and the what is in the way
if all’s not fair then why are you here
9. See Monkey
i made you a set of keys then i broke up with you did i know at the hardware store did the copy machine and you know too do you remember when you loved me oh wait oh wait do you remember when i loved you oh you do
i saw you on the sunny side and you crossed over to my shade but i just wanted quiet time and you wanted a parade do you remember when you loved me oh wait oh wait do you remember when i loved you oh you do

11. Backstage Girl
there were times when i saw there were times when i thought one lie at a time, easy to get by lemme tell you how i be assured to feel it’s never me call, say, call, say, this i gotta hear do you live in the same house you did do you live in the same heart and can you start to tell the world i wasn’t just your backstage girl i threw you off in better days a forever love that never came
and when we woke up i gave up on the rules of the scene and when we woke up i stood up spotlight on me do you live in the same house you did do you live in the same heart and can you start to tell the world i wasn’t just your backstage girl and will you start to tell the world i was so much more than your backstage girl
lemme tell you how I see the things you don’t when you’re sixteen call, say, write, say, think i got to hear
amen
