Love is a spider
I keep it inside my fist (ah, ah)
None the wiser
It's not designed to live (ah, ah)

Without airspace
I can't keep it in a jar and watch it suffocate
Such a damn waste
With its crushed little legs out of the fire escape

Weaving words beside ya
When did you decide my
Love is a spider to be stepped on?
Stepped on, ah-ah

Creeping up behind ya
Stuck in string, it binds on
Love is a spider and you stepped on it
Stepped on it, ah-ah

Love is inside ya
It's crawling up your ribs (ah, ah)
Trying to find an
Exit in your lips (ah, ah)

Without airspace
I can't keep it in a jar and watch it suffocate
Such a damn waste
With its crushed little feet under body weight

Leaving words beside ya
When did you decide my
Love is a spider to be stepped on?
Stepped on, ah-ah

Creeping up behind ya
Stuck in string, it binds on
Love is a spider and you stepped on it
Stepped on it, ah-ah
