David Bowie — Glass Spider

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] Don't you hear this wasted cry, life is over you (Mommy come back because the water's all gone) But you've seen who's in Heaven, is there anyone in Hell? Mommy come back because it's dark now (Oh-hoho-oh) (Oh-hoho-oh) [Verse 2] Take care, take care (Mommy come back because 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 because 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 because 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 because 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 because 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 because it's dark now (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Ja ja ja ja ja) (Oh-hoho-oh) (Oh-hoho-oh)
