Entangled in Your Own Web
Intro:
Hey.
You.
Yeah, you.
What’s that pulling at your strings?
snip, snip
(Laughter)
Oops!
V1:
There’s a little piece of you inside me,
So I think I could write your autobiography-
B-i-o-g-r-a-p-h-y.
Yeah, you’re always inside of me.
(But how can you write my autobiography?
There’s no piece of you inside of me…)
That’s where you’re wrong.
Your mind can’t see.
B-i-o-g-r-a-p-h-y.
B:
So why don’t we get past the cobwebs,
dust them out of the way?
Why don’t we crawl on our hands and knees
on and on until our bones decay...
Together we’re four,
and four makes eight-
on and on until our minds wear away...
C1:
Homespun housepet,
Spin, spin, spin.
Housebroken hellcat,
Spin, spin, spin.
You win, you win,
You always win!
We’re all waiting for the bite-
Waiting for you to claw your way out-
Tooth and nail, too tough to fight.
Untie the knots, untie the knots,
Spin, spin, spin.
V3:
They tangled you up and put spiders in your head,
Nested in your eyes and in your bed (get them out...)
Feeding on the little fly,
Jealous of the wings he uses to say goodbye.
We’re all so dumb, dumb, dumb.
I’m having so much fun, fun, fun.
Watch ‘em weave a web so thick,
Watch ‘em put it over my face (can’t breathe)
Watch ‘em put their fangs in us,
Watch us as we bite the dust.
B:
I am my Father.
You are your Mother.
He is her Brother.
She is his Sister.
We are Traitors.
You’re all Traitors, too.
Oh,
They must have put you in a cocoon,
Strangled shame until your fingers turned blue.
Ah...
Sealed you up just so they could
hear you-
scream
C2:
Trapped like a fly,
Spin, spin, spin.
Entangled in your own web,
Spin, spin, spin.
Dead Ethyl is what I call your kind-
Some insecticide ought to do just fine!
Feeling you bleed out-
Trapped, trapped, trapped...
Under a glass is where I caught you-
Trapped, trapped, trapped.
B:
Four eyes from you...
Four eyes from me...
Eight eyes for the widow
peaking out from the crack-
Glass shatters
C3:
Pins and needles in their backs,
Spin, spin, spin.
Controlled by the cobwebs,
not knowing why.
Entangled in your own web,
Dirty bastard, dirty mind,
Spin, spin, spin.
You win, you win
You always win!
You dirty cheater,
you always win!
B:
Don’t hide from me.
No, not from me.
How dare you bite the hand that feeds
After all they’ve done to me?
How else can I write your biography?
B-i-o-g-r-a-p-h-y.
*(Let’s cut off one of your legs and see
how fast you can crawl away from me…)*
V4/C4:
Oh, it’s making me sick!
The poison is killing us, setting you free…
Dead Ethyl, Dead Ethyl, whatever did I do to you?
Oh, I’m glad my death could set you free-
so, go on,
and get up off your knees!
Homespun housepet,
Spin, spin, spin.
Housebroken hellcat,
Spin, spin, spin.
You win, you win,
You always win!
We’re all waiting for the bite-
Waiting for you to claw your way out-
Tooth and nail, too tough to fight.
Untie the knots, untie the knots,
Spin, spin, spin.
O:
If you want to live and thrive,
let the spider run alive.
(Sound of something hatching)
