Modest Mouse - Never Fuck a Spider on the Fly lyrics

The air is whizzing by
The spider watched us fly
And at best, you could say you were obliged
Well, we sing the spider's song
And the words are too, too long
And it scared me just to say I'll carry on
The carrion it takes a lot of pay no-mind
With your cellular gadgets on
Oh, our lives don't seem to
Float, you think you know
You just don't know
Why you should never fuck a spider on the fly

Well, if you fuck a spider on the fly
You're gonna, gonna, gonna get the news
Yeah, there's a lot of webs
Sure, there's enough for you

Well, the last thing I could
Say won't be spoken anyways
And as I got to move
Well, there's a lotta things I shoulda done
I shoulda oughta, probably oughta do

So you should never fuck a spider on the fly
If you do, you're gonna find out soon
There's still some web for you
What you gonna do?

It doesn't matter what they don't know
They really, really want you to know
So they'll tap, tap, tap no
Matter where you go, oh
Peeping Toms at every window
Dangling a leash for your throat
Peeping and tapping
Looking into every single window

Oh, and I don't care for politics
And it doesn't care for me
I don't like being watched by the TV
Well, there's a lot of news, a lot
Of news, a lot of news, a lot of news
And it all works as a web for you

Well, you should never fuck a
Spider on the fly
If you really, really want to move
'Cause we're all food
And there's the web for you

Well, if you fuck a spider on the fly
You're gonna, gonna, gonna get the news
There's a lot of webs
Yeah, there's a web for you

Peeping Toms at every window
Dangling a leash for your throat
Peeping and smudging, looking
Into every window, oh
It doesn't matter what they don't know
They really, really want you to know
So they'll tap, tap, tap, tap
Tap on every window, oh

They zoom in, you can't zoom out, oh
Your head's my house now
I live in every corner of your mind
I ain't coming out i have a lot to do
To become you well, I ain't taking orders
But they're still givin' them out
I'm lost over international waters
In the cloud
And I got, got, got, got, got, got
Got some news

Well, you should never fuck a
Spider on the fly
If you really, really want to move
There's a lot of webs
And there's a web for you

Well, if you fuck a spider on the fly
You're gonna, gonna, gonna get the news
There's a lot of webs
Yeah, there's a web for you
