lyrics

The sun, the sun, the sun, the sun
shimmers on my hair
while people drift in and out

How long, how long, how long
can I escape this light
and how long can I hang?

I'm just a spider at the gate
I just sit and wait
I'm a spider at the gate
I just sit and wait


It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true
I am dancing on the bed
I fear I've lost the chase

This is, this is, this is, this is
how I turned out
this is what I've become


I'm just a spider at the gate
I just sit and wait
I'm a spider at the gate
I just sit and wait


Though my teeth look like kernels now
they once were white and rippled deep
they once saved the day, they once saved the day
they once save the day, they once saved the day

and now

I'm a spider at the gate
I just sit and wait
I'm a spider at the gate
I just sit and wait
