Song | Insects Rule |
Artist | Brendan Benson |
Album | One Mississippi |
作词 : Benson, Falkner | |
(Benson/Falkner) | |
Once knew a woman, she was skin and bones | |
Invited all the insects to come into her home | |
She trained them so well | |
They could answer her phone | |
The day finally came when the poor woman was overthrown | |
Her husband returned home from voyages at sea | |
To find his lovely wife dead and a spider sipping tea | |
He drew his knife and swore | |
He would have the spider's eyes | |
An army of red ants nearly took him by surprise | |
The sailor and his wife lay dead while neighbors peeked in | |
Outside the dogs were mesmerized | |
By the humming from within | |
News spread throughout the town of the insects' arrival | |
People gathered in the church to pray to | |
God And quote from the | |
Bible Men came with gasoline and torches abright | |
A billion flies covered the skies til it was dark as night | |
The cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the bees | |
Now the insects rule so get down on your knees | |
And the town crier said: | |
You God-fearing people had better beware | |
Gather up your idols and begin to prepare | |
The time has come, the locusts have taken the air |
