08 Arachne 1969
First term blues, staring out of the window from my little cell on C staircase at Fitz. It wasn’t snowing – I just had bad dandruff….
I’m sitting scratching on my head and watching the snowflakes fall
Trying to figure if she ever loved me at all
I’m staring out the window at a broken red brick wall
She knew how to lead me I knew how to fall
Watching the spider in my room sucking on a fly
Really is a lot like you that surely is no lie
In fact the very though of it just makes me want to cry
She knew how to live and I knew how to die
The rain it comes towards me but is broken by the pane
It’s one continuous failure but still it tries again
And then at last a drop appears on the inside to remain
I hope I’ve left some love in her just the same
Well maybe I won’t see her again but I hope I do
There really should be some reward for all that I’ve been through
You’d better watch your step my friend the next one could be you
We’re all in her web and there’s nothing we can do
