Glass Spider lyrics
Up until one century ago there lived,
In the Zi Duang province of eastern country
A glass-like spider
Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web
In weeks creating a macabre
Shrine of remains
Its web was also unique in that it had many layers
Like floors in a building
At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with almost apparent
Care, were tiny, shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops
One could almost call it an altar
When the breeze blew thru this construction
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
Tiny wails, tiny cries
The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically
For their mother
But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies
Would survive someone on their own
Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries
Don't you hear this wasted cry, Life is over you
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell
(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
Take care, take care
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone
But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now
Jah jah jah jah jah
Jah jah jah jah jah
Gone, Gone the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Stay low on the ground, fire can drive you, savage and afraid
Spitting the dawn, come come come along before the animals awake
Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left.
If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might
Gone, gone, the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Jah jah jah jah jah
Jah jah jah jah jah
Gone gone the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
In the Zi Duang province of eastern country
A glass-like spider
Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web
In weeks creating a macabre
Shrine of remains
Its web was also unique in that it had many layers
Like floors in a building
At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with almost apparent
Care, were tiny, shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops
One could almost call it an altar
When the breeze blew thru this construction
It produced sounds of wailing, crying
Tiny wails, tiny cries
The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically
For their mother
But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies
Would survive someone on their own
Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's
They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries
Don't you hear this wasted cry, Life is over you
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell
(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
Take care, take care
(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone
But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now
Jah jah jah jah jah
Jah jah jah jah jah

Gone, gone, the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
Jah jah jah jah jah
Jah jah jah jah jah
Gone gone the water's all gone
Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
