lyrics

I wanted an answer, a story explained, to get some perspective on bloodlines and names. I spit in a vial and sent it away so men could uncoil the codes. A notification, alarmed like a clock, arrived via email-- the password unlocked. My nerves were like fireworks filling the room. I finally confirmed what I already knew.
I thought I was human, Irish and French, but I am a spider. I am a spider. They pour me well vodka. I know that I ordered top shelf. I thought of old heroes in prose with their swords, but I am a spider. I am a spider. Is knowledge a curse, or is knowledge the only reward?
I take off my hat and I put on my coat. I find my car keys and I lose the remote. I like the commute and the company too. I camouflage better than any of you, and I don't have questions. No, not anymore. I mailed off the vial, now I know the score. A narrative in which my actions are framed, and all my desires are given a name.
One leg, one eye, two legs, two eyes, three legs, three eyes, four legs, four eyes, five legs, five eyes, six legs, six eyes, seven legs, seven eyes, eight legs, eight eyes.
