Spiders & Snakes - Jim Stafford

We just had to ask Maybe some one out of heaven Would hear us down here We couldn't bear to stand How the people leave us waiting For something up there Oh, why did you leave? Why won't you come? And save us again? Come back to us spiders Come uncrush my hand Let peace and beauty reign And bring us love again, like you can We just didn't know Someone there outside of heaven Heard us down here We couldn't stand it here How the people leave us longing For something up there Oh, why did you leave? And why won't you come? And save us again? Come back to us spiders Come uncrush my hands Let peace and beauty reign And bring us love again, like you can (2x) So much time, we need to ask everything How did it go, you need it I got it Come back to us spiders Come uncrush my hands Let peace and beauty reign And bring us love again, like you can (2x) Like you can

Spiders in the night Creeping 'round the walls Now you'll feel him Crawling over you Creepy crawly things Filling up your bed Soon you'll feel him Crawling through your brains You think he's there Beware his bite But when you look The spider's not in sight Spiders reappear Taking peoples names Everything is Taken down insane There's no way out And there's no key But here's a clue The spider's really me You're written in his book The spider won't forget You won't forget The spiders in the night The end is going night Itsy witsy friends The spiders disappearing From the night You think he's gone You think he's dead There's no escape The spider's in your head All the spiders in the night All the spiders in the night All the spiders in the night ...

Who's gonna pick up the spiders? Be the candy underneath my eyelids? Gonna tell me that I'm too far gone, and I should go home? Who's gonna pick up the pieces? Make it better when she reaches? Gonna tell me that it's been too long, and I should come home? 'Cause I'm a thousand miles away, but we're underneath the same sky Underneath the marquee moon, tequila sunrise About a hundred times a day, my finger hovers over FaceTime Swear I saw your face in the flicker of a streetlight All your best friends think I'm a waste, man, but I'm just doing me, I just can't compete With these visions of what you think your man should be Should be But who's gonna quit all the violence? Be the one who dares to break the silence? Gonna tell me that I've said too much, and I should go home? Who's gonna tell me that it's worth it? That maybe I should put the work in? Gonna tell me that it's time that I grew up, and I should go home? 'Cause I'm a thousand miles away, but we're underneath the same sky Underneath the marquee moon, tequila sunrise About a hundred times a day, my finger hovers over FaceTime Swear I saw your face in the flicker of a streetlight Who's gonna pick up the spiders? Be the candy underneath my eyelids? Gonna tell me that I'm too far gone, and I should go home? Who's gonna pick up the pieces? Make it better when she reaches? Gonna tell me that it's been too long, and I should come home?

Oh, I know you're still with me You, my compass and my sea And I know you're still with me You, my compass and my sea Oh, I hope you can hear me Follows billion miles away You stay 'Cause I love you dearly Follows billion miles away 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're my only friend indeed Green broken glass ocean You break me in slow motion No map, no message It's the deep blue screen I know 'Cause I know you're still with me You, my compass and my sea 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're my only friend indeed 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're my only friend indeed 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're my only friend indeed 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're the only thing I need 'Cause I've been around two times and found That you're my only friend indeed

The piercing radiant moon The storming of poor June All the life running through her hair Approaching guiding light Our shallow years in fright Dreams are made, winding through my head Through my head Before you know, you're awake Your lives are open wide The V-chip gives them sight Of all the life running through her hair The spiders all in tune The evening of the moon Dreams are made, winding through my head Through my head Before you know, awake Through my head, through my head Before You know Before you know I will be waiting, all awake Dreams are made, winding through her hair Dreams are made, winding through her hair

Ev'rytime you kiss me I'm still not certain that you love me Ev'ry time you hold me I'm still not certain that you care Though you keep on saying You really, really, really love me Do you speak the same words To someone else when I'm not there Suspicion - torments my heart Suspicion - keeps us apart Suspicion - why torture me Ev'rytime you call me And tell me we should meet tomorrow I can't help but think that You're meeting someone else tonight Why should our romance just Keep on causing me such sorrow? Why am I so doubtful Whenever you're out of sight? Suspicion - torments my heart Suspicion - keeps us apart Suspicion - why torture me Darling, if you love me I beg you wait a little longer Wait until I drive all These foolish fears out of my mind Why can our romance just Keep on causing me such sorrow? Maybe I'm suspicious 'Cause true love is so hard to find Suspicion - torments my heart Suspicion - keeps us apart Suspicion - why torture me

No other love can warm my heart Now that I've known the comfort of your arms No other love Oh, the sweet contentment that I find with you every time Every time No other lips could want you more For I was born to glory in your kiss Forever yours I was blessed with love to love you 'Til the stars burn out above you 'Til the moon is but a silver shell No other love, let no other love Know the wonder of your spell I was blessed with love to love you 'Til the stars burn out above you 'Til the moon is but a silver shell No other love, let no other love Know the wonder of your spell
