Momus - The Spider lyrics

A sentimental spider serves no purpose in her life I just make her sad after the act She remembers no delights, she remembers fights Awful days in Venice and those horrid Paris nights She's not one to k** a fellow spider in cold blood She believes in doing it when she's hot When the place and time are ripe for the crime If she can't have me nobody can The spider who swallowed her man Don't tamper with evidence at the scene of a crime Leave the sticky web and the cocoon Leave her plunging fangs in my abdomen Leave my legs still wriggling even as she swallows them Latrodectus Mactans I am the gift I bring Nutrition for our putative offspring We both know the truth: I have no further use And once you've had me nobody can The spider who swallowed her man
