Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - The Spider lyrics

(musica: V. Nocenzi / testo: F. Di Giacomo, V. Nocenzi)

(english lyrics by : Angelo Branduardi)

You know I walked this far

Over the highest walls

To celebrate with you

But maybe I was wrong

You talk of life and death

And I don't like that song

You just sit there on your thoughts

Like a broken down old thief

I always used astuteness

With my sheltered geometries

It's foolish to take risks

I concede nothing to anyone

Following my thread I never lose myself

Following my thread you will not lose yourself

Come and take my thread and you want lose yourself

Labyrinth that has no exit

This is you embroidered space

And I cannot walk there

I quickly run up and down

And all think I'm a sage

But surely you can see I'm

Unscrupulous I gently rock my prey

Inside my precious shrouds

If only I could enfold you

Today perhaps, my most precious prey

Would be you

Following my thread
