david bowie - glass spider, 2018 lyrics
[intro]
up until one century ago there lived
in the zi duang province of an eastern country
a gl-ss-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
-ssembled with almost apparent care
were tiny, shining objects
gl-ss, beads, dewdrops
one could almost call it an altar
when the breeze blew through 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 gl-ss spider would have long gone
having known that the babies
would survive somehow on their own
oh, the gl-ss spider had blue eyes almost like a human’s
they shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries
[verse 1]
don’t you hear this wasted cry, life is over you
(mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone)
but you’ve seen who’s in heaven, is there anyone in h-ll?
(gone, gone, the waters all gone)
(mommy come back ’cause it’s dark now)
(oh-hoho-oh)
(oh-hoho-oh)
[verse 2]
take care, take care
(mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone)
somewhere she glows divine, somewhere she wakes alone
but you, you’ve promised in your loving eye
god it’s dark now
(mommy come back ’cause it’s dark now)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
[verse 3]
gone, gone the water’s all gone
(mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone)
stay low on the ground
the fire can drive you, savage and afraid
spitting the dawn, come along before the animals awake
(gone, gone, the water’s all gone)
(mommy come back ’cause it’s dark now)
run, run, we’ve been moving all night, rivers to the left
if your mama don’t love ya’ then the riverbed might
gone, gone, the water’s all gone
(mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
[bridge]
gone gone the water’s all gone
mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone
gone gone the water’s all gone
mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone
gone gone the water’s all gone
mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone
[outro]
mommy come back ’cause it’s dark now
(oh-hoho-oh)
(oh-hoho-oh)
mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone
(ja ja ja ja ja)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
mommy come back ’cause it’s dark now
(ja ja ja ja ja)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
mommy come back ’cause the water’s all gone
(ja ja ja ja ja)
(ja ja ja ja ja)
mommy come back ’cause it’s dark now
(oh-hoho-oh)
(oh-hoho-oh)
mommy come back ’cause it’s dark now
