Glass Spider Lyrics - Never Let Me Down - David Bowie

Up until one century ago there lived, 

In the Zi Duang province of 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, dew-drops 

One could almost call it an altar 

When the breeze blew thru 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 someone on their own. 

Oh-The Glass Spider had 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 

(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone) 

But you've seen who's in heaven. Is there anyone in hell 

(Mummy come back 'cause it's dark now) 

Take care, take care. 

(Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone) 

Somewhere she glows divine. Somewhere she wakes alone. 

But you, you've promise in your lovin' eye. God it's dark now. 

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah 

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah

Gone, Gone the water's all gone 

Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone 

Stay low on the ground, fire can drive you, savage and afraid 

Spitting the dawn, come come come along before the animals awake 

Run, run, we've been moving all night, rivers to the left. 

If your mother don't love you then the riverbed might 

Gone, gone, the water's all gone 

Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone 

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah 

Jah Jah Jah Jah Jah 

Gone gone the water's all gone 

Mummy come back 'cause the water's all gone
