Spiders, Snakes - A Weather

Did you mean the things you said?

Were you pulling ankles and legs?

Do you read when you go to bed?

Do you lie there shaking instead?

Cause it works both ways with the rain

Leaving the words unread

And I want to have you again

Listening to Bedhead

Try to get a little rest

There’s a very big day ahead

I was lost like people feel

Before they find God’s love

The best I can say now

«We made it alone

No help from hot-air balloons

Saving us in the nick of time»

Don’t get your hopes up

Keep them low

Try not to reach so high

Hard work won’t pay off in the end

What a broken string of events

What a little tied up loose end

Are you mad that they are all dead?

Do you wish that you’d gone instead?

Are you pissed that when things got bad

There was one set of footprints in the sand?

When it’s easy you walk alone

There’s a mark for each of your toes

The best I could hope for

Is what you’d expect

White lights like icicles

Hung up above the porch

I’d just like to say now

Before things go too far

«I hated none of you

I loved you all at the time»

I like having to run when I don’t run

And it leaves me so, so tired

I want better for you and for my son

And the lives we’re leading now

I like having a tongue when the words come

And even if it gets tied

I want cinnamon buns in the morning sun

In the airport waiting lines

I like having some fun like anyone

With loaded water guns

Your Canadian plum has got me numb

Like Novacain in my gum

The best is the smoke blown

Back through the flue

Like birds returning to a tree

Where their old nest used to be

Now things have changed

Or maybe not

That’s where you learn to fly

That’s where our eggshell lies
