Plans and schemes, thoughts and dreams

Who cares what they mean?

When they work they're amazing things

But when they don't, I hear you scream

Spiders and flies live and die

Six legs to stand on and two wings to fly

I can't remember and I can't decide

What was the season and the color of your eyes, eyes

A thousand kings, favorite queens

Buried with them precious rings

When they lived they loved complete

But in their tombs I hear them scream

Spiders and flies live and die

Six legs to stand on and two wings to fly

I can't remember and I can't decide

What was the season and the color of your eyes, eyes

Songs and spells, magic glass

Who cares what they cast?

I dreamed I'd always love you complete

I never thought I'd hear you scream

Spiders and flies live and die

Eight legs to stand on and two wings to fly

It makes you wonder: Why can't I?

What was the reason for the color of your eyes, eyes

Spiders and flies live and die

Eight legs to stand on and two wings to fly

It makes you wonder: Why can't I?

What was the reason for the color of your eyes, eyes
