The Easter Spider

Verse 1

Little buddy

Put the shoe down

Rollin’ up that Sunday paper

I saw him crawlin’ slow

Across the floor

Barely light outside

Eight legs

Movin’

Through the dust

Oh my God

Big spider

I think you just killed the Easter Spider

Chorus

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

Chocolate in the basket

Jelly beans and rice

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Easter Spider

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Now the basket’s empty

One hard swing

Man

You broke the magic

No Sunday surprise

Big mess

Stained wood

You killed the dream

Now we’re waitin’

In the quiet

In the dark

Chorus

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

Chocolate in the basket

Jelly beans and rice

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

Easter Spider

Oh oh oh

Bridge

Sometimes things go wrong

One quick swing

Magic’s gone

But late at night

I hear him spin

Silver threads

Spinnin’ back again

Spinnin’ back again

Spinnin’ back again

Verse 3

Hubert Wellington

Comin’ back around

Eight eyes

Shinin’ soft

No anger here

Forgiveness

Leave the window open

Whisper

Tell him you’re sorry

Tell him you’re sorry

Mornin’ light’s comin’ down

Verse 4

Put the magazine away

Don’t go swingin’ wild

He ain’t lookin’ for revenge

Just sweetness

Hope

Spinnin’ where it’s cold

Spinnin’ where it’s old

Wait

I see him

There he is

Oh my God

Spider

Chorus

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

Chocolate in the basket

Jelly beans and rice

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

He gives you eggs if you’re nice

Outro

Hubert Wellington

Comin’ back

Eggs if you’re nice

I’m sorry

Oh my God

He’s comin’ back

Easter Spider

Comin’ back

Comin’ back

Comin’ back
