Glass Spider by David Bowie


Up until one century ago there lived

In the zi duang province of an 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 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 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 'cos the water's all gone)

But you've seen who's in heaven is there anyone in hell?

(mummy come back 'cos it's dark now)

 

Take care take care

(mummy come back 'cos 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

 

Gone gone the water's all gone

(mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone)

Stay low on the ground

The fire can drive you savage and afraid

 

Spitting at the dawn come along before the animals awake

(gone gone the water's all gone

Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now)

 

Run run moving all night rivers to the left

If your mama don't love you then riverbed might

Gone gone the water's all gone

(mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone)

 

Gone gone the water's all gone

(mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone)

Gone gone the water's all gone

(mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone)

Gone gone the water's all gone

(mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone)

 

Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now

Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone

 

Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now

Mummy come back 'cos the water's all gone

 

Mummy come back 'cos it's dark now
