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
