Spider weaves a spit green sea That tangles up and drowns the fly -- poor fly Well, he's got pneumonia just like me But he can't swim as well as I And I realized as I watched him die Near this bed of mine There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness Rise on mercury pearl I was strangled in the blankets sweatin' Fightin' for my poor short life -- poor fly Floating infinitesemal I felt it bloom with graceful eyes And I said good-bye to my future joys
Lying mummified. There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness Rise on mercury pearl Steam heater hissing, grandma is kissing, Staring at my box of colored chalk The thermometer shaking Fear is breaking Comin' down like Jack from his bean stalk Thus my little room became the cocoon For my senses five. There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness Rise on mercury pearl Rise on mercury I'm here to give you my world.
