| Song | Glass Spider (1999 Digital Remaster) |
| Artist | David Bowie |
| Album | Never Let Me Down |
| [00:11.960] | Up until one century ago there lived |
| [00:15.090] | In the Zi Duang provence of eastern country |
| [00:19.580] | A glass-like spider |
| [00:22.160] | Having devoured its prey |
| [00:24.880] | it would drape the skeletons over its web |
| [00:28.040] | in weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains |
| [00:32.470] | It's web was also unique in that it had many layers like floors in a buuilding |
| [00:43.560] | At the top of this palace-like place |
| [00:49.090] | assembled with almost apparent care |
| [00:51.810] | were tiny shining objects glass beads dew-drops |
| [00:58.370] | One could almost call it an altar |
| [01:00.990] | When the breeze blew thru this construction |
| [01:04.330] | It produced sounds of wailing crying |
| [01:08.090] | Tiny wails tiny cries |
| [01:17.800] | The baby spiders would get scared and search frantically for their mother |
| [01:23.340] | But the Glass Spider would have long gone having known that the babies would survive somehow on their own |
| [01:30.110] | Oh-The Glass Spider had blue eyes almost like-a human's |
| [01:35.800] | They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries |
| [01:44.550] | Don't you hear this wasted cry Life is over you |
| [01:55.320] | （Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone） |
| [01:58.300] | But you've seen who's in heaven Is there anyone in hell |
| [02:08.830] | （Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now） |
| [02:22.100] | Take care take care |
| [02:28.980] | （Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone） |
| [02:34.930] | Somewhere she glows divine Somewhere she wakes alone |
| [02:45.300] | But you you've promise in your lovin' eye God it's dark now |
| [02:51.150] | Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
| [02:54.490] | Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
| [02:59.580] | Gone Gone the water's all gone |
| [03:02.890] | Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone |
| [03:08.890] | Stay low on the ground my fire can drive you savage and afraid |
| [03:16.420] | Spitting at the dawn come along before the animals awake |
| [03:20.710] | Gone Gone the water's all gone |
| [03:23.070] | Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone |
| [03:25.800] | Run moving all night rivers to the left |
| [03:29.910] | If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might |
| [03:33.270] | Gone gone the water's all gone |
| [03:36.610] | Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone |
| [03:41.620] | Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
| [03:45.030] | Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah |
| [03:47.190] | Gone gone the water's all gone |
| [03:50.420] | Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone |
