From the recording About to Burst
Lyrics
Spider writer
by Danielle Howle
Spider writer
hanging out
with your daddy
in the open-air market
Spider writer
having fun
without the feeling
lost is someone’s shadow
Spider writer
never knowing
your relations
cause they all die so quickly
Spider writer
you got time
and your talents
will be brief but plenty
Well all of my good friends
have died and gone to heaven
all of my good friends have died
and gone away
all of my good friends have died
and gone to heaven
they say it’s the easiest place to get in
so they say
What a feeling
to sway
in your creation
til some human swats it down
Meet the dustbroom
hide in it
like a statue
then go back up the dessert
Spider writer
swings strings
from your body
to carry you places
Spider writer
hanging out
with your daddy
in the open-air market
Well all of my good friends
have died and gone to heaven
all of my good friends have died
and gone away
all of my good friends have died
and gone to heaven
they have died and gone away
they say it’s the easiest place to get in
so they say
