"Never Fuck A Spider On The Fly" lyrics - MODEST MOUSE
The air is whizzing by, the spider watched us fly
And at best you could say you were obliged
Well we sing the spider's song, and the words are too too long
And it scared me just to say I'll carry on, the carrion
It takes a lot of pay-no-mind with your cellular gadgets on
Oh our lives don't seem to float, you think you know, you just don't know
Why you should never fuck a spider on the fly
[Chorus 1:]
Well if you fuck a spider on the fly
You're gonna gonna gonna get the news
Yeah, there's a lot of webs
Sure, there's enough for you
The last thing I should say won't be spoken anyways
Well I got to move
Well there's a lotta things I shoulda done
I shoulda oughta probably oughta do
[Chorus 2:]
So you should never fuck a spider on the fly
If you do you're gonna find out soon
There's still some web for you
Whatcha gonna do
[Bridge 1:]
It doesn't matter what they don't know
They really really want you to know
So they'll tap tap tap, no matter where you go, oh
Peeping toms at every window
Dangling a leash for your throat
Peeping and tapping, looking into every single window
Oh I don't care for politics and it doesn't care for me
I don't like being watched by the TV
Well there's a lot of news, a lot of news, a lot of news, a lot of news
And it all works as a web for you
[Chorus 3:]
Well you should never fuck a spider on the fly
If you really really want to move
'Cause we're all food
And there's the web for you
Well if you fuck a spider on the fly
You're gonna gonna gonna get the news
There's a lot of webs
Yeah, there's a web for you
[Bridge 2:]
Peeping toms at every window
Dangling a leash for your throat
Peeping and smudging, looking into every window
It doesn't matter what they don't know
They really really want you to know
So they'll tap tap tap tap tap, on every window, oh
They zoom in, you can't zoom out, oh, your head's my house now
I live in every corner of your mind, I ain't coming out
I have a lot to do
To become you
Well I ain't taking orders but they're still givin' them out
I'm lost over international waters in the cloud
I got got got got got got got some news
[Chorus 4]
Well you should never fuck a spider on the fly
If you really really want to move
There's a lot of webs
And there's enough for you
Well if you fuck a spider on the fly
You're gonna gonna gonna get the news
There's a lot of webs
Yeah, there's a web for you
