Glass Spider (Live Montreal '87, 2018 Remaster) - David Bowie

Lyrics by：David Bowie

Composed by：David Bowie

Produced by：David Bowie

Up until one hundred years ago there lived

In the Zi Duang province of an eastern country

A glass-like spider

Having devoured its prey

It would drape the skeletons over its web

In weeks creating a macabre shrine of remains

Its web was also unique in that it had many layers

Like floors in a building

At the top of this palace-like place

Assembled with almost apparent care

Were tiny shining objects

Glass beads dewdrops

One could almost call it an altar

When the wind blew through this construction

It produced sounds of wailing crying

Tiny wails tiny cries

The baby spiders would get scared

And search frantically for their mother

But the glass spider would have long gone

Having known that the babies

Would survive somehow on their own

she has blue eyes almost like a human's

They shed tears at the wintered turn of the centuries

Don't you hear this wasted cry life is over you

Mommy come back because the water's all gone

But you've seen who's in Heaven is there anyone in Hell

Mommy come back because it's dark now

Oh yeah

Take care take care

Mommy come back because the water's all gone

Somewhere she glows divine somewhere she wakes alone

But you you've promised in your loving eyes

Mommy come back because it's dark now

Ja ja ja ja ja

Ja ja ja ja ja

Ja ja ja ja ja

Gone Gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Stay low on the ground

The fire can drive you savage and afraid

Spitting the dawn come along before the animals awake

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back because the water's all gone

we've been moving all night rivers to the left

If your mama don't love ya' then the riverbed might

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Ja ja ja ja ja

Ja ja ja ja ja

Ja ja ja ja ja

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone

Gone gone the water's all gone

Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
