Lyrics

SPIDER THREADS

I’m sitting in this room and I’m listening to the tune

she’s talking about the earth’s unavoidable doom

And there across my way she is sipping her soup

puts the cup to her lips like a child might pray

And there beside her in her long golden braids

she asked me before was she like an Indian Brave


What is this I see

What is this I feel

I ask him about it and he says it’s quite real


I think there are angels in here

though they may try to hide

their wings are just tied by a spider’s threads

a spiders web


She wares her sadness upon her face

though she’s not crying not crying today

and here beside me with her eyes open wide

she listens to the other’s excitement and pride


If you carefully unwind them they’ll be free to soar

and they’ll light up the darkness and speak to us all


What is this I see

Hey what could this be

I tell him about it and he has an idea

He thinks there are angels in here

he thinks there is angels in here.


I’m sitting in this room and I’m listening to the tune

she’s talking about the earth’s unavoidable doom

I think there are angels, I think there are angels

I think there are angels in here, I think there are angels in here.
