Spiders, Snakes Songtext
von A Weather

Did you mean the things you said?
Were you pulling ankles and legs?
Do you read when you go to bed?
Do you lie there shaking instead?
Cause it works both ways with the rain
Leaving the words unread
And I want to have you again
Listening to Bedhead
Try to get a little rest
There′s a very big day ahead
I was lost like people feel
Before they find God's love
The best I can say now
We made it alone
No help from hot air balloons
Saving us in the nick of time
Don′t get your hopes up
Keep them low
Try not to reach so high
Hard work won't pay off in the end


What a broken string of events
What a little tied up loose end
Are you mad that they are all dead?
Do you wish that you'd gone instead?
Are you pissed that when things got bad
There was one set of footprints in the sand?
When it′s easy you walk alone
There′s a mark for each of your toes
The best I can hope for
Is what you'd expect
White lights like icicles
Hung up above the porch
I′d just like to say now
Before things go too far
I hated none of you
But I loved you all at the time
I like having to run
When I don't run and it leaves me so, so tired
I want better for you
And for my son
And the lives we′re leading now
I like having a tongue
When the words come and even if it gets tired
I want cinnamon buns
In the morning sun
And the airport waiting lines
I like having some fun
Like anyone with loaded water guns
Your Canadian plum
Has got me numb
Like Novocain in my gums
The best is the smoke blown
Back through the flue
Like birds returning to the tree
Where their old nest used to be
My how things have changed
Or maybe not
That's where you learned to fly
That′s where our eggshell lie
