Lyrics

The Joplin Spider

From The Fall2010

Written by Damon Albarn

Produced by Gorillaz, Stephen Sedgwick

Lyrics

The Joplin Spider

"That spider" "What?" "Shh, shh, long legs" "Fucking hell" "I'll get you help" "It's blinding, it's just weird" "That looks poisonous" "Ah, yeah" "Seriously?" "Yeah, I'd say so" "Y'know, spider venom's extra lethal to primates" Colorful sailors washed up on the shore Fell upon bad times Spider in the ditch she saw it all Now she's trying to ride dance Colorful sailors washed up on the shore Fell upon the viaduct Spider in the ditch he saw it all Waiting for the wrong time
