DAVID BOWIE lyrics : "Glass Spider"

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, $$#embled 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 lovin' 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
