Lyrics

[ti:Glass Spider]
[ar:David Bowie]
[al:Never Let Me Down]
[offset:0]
[00:12.86] Up until one century ago there lived,
[00:15.88] In the Zi Duang provence of eastern country.
[00:19.67] A glass-like spider.
[00:22.73] Having devoured its prey it would drape the skeletons over its web in weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains.
[00:31.14]
[00:32.84] Its web was also unique in that it had many layers, like floors a in buuilding.
[00:38.20]
[00:45.94] At the top of this palace-like place, assembled with almost apparent care, were tiny shining objects, glass, beads, dew-drops.
[00:58.44] One could almost call it an altar.
[01:01.45] When the breeze blew thru this construction,
[01:04.50] It produced sounds of wailing, crying.
[01:08.13]
[01:08.70] Tiny wails, tiny cries.
[01:12.69]
[01:19.13] The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically for their mother.
[01:23.70] But the Glass Spider would have long gone, having known that the babies would survive somehow on their own.
[01:30.36] Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's.
[01:35.83] They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries.
[01:41.34]
[01:44.78] Don't you hear this wasted cry, Life is over you
[01:55.45] (Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
[01:58.65] But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell
[02:08.98] (Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now)
[02:15.72]
[02:23.15] Take care, take care.
[02:29.10] (Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone)
[02:34.29]
[02:34.98] Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone.
[02:42.29]
[02:44.99] But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now.
[02:52.06] Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
[02:53.74] Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
[02:59.81] Gone, Gone the water's all gone
[03:02.87] Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
[03:06.83]
[03:09.05] Stay low on the ground, my fire can drive you, savage and afraid
[03:16.20] Spitting at the dawn, come along before the animals awake
[03:20.29]
[03:26.54] Run moving all night, rivers to the left.
[03:29.66] If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might
[03:33.17] Gone, gone, the water's all gone
[03:36.29] Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
[03:39.42] Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
[03:41.92] Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah
[03:47.86] Gone gone the water's all gone
[03:49.98] Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
[03:53.36] Gone gone the water's all gone
[03:56.58] Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
[04:00.13] Gone gone the water's all gone
[04:03.39] Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
