Glass Spider
(专辑: Never Let Me Down - 1987)
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 somehow 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 loving 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
