Lyrics

[01:01.59] on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
[01:06.37] softly through the shadow of the evening sun
[01:11.81] stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
[01:16.53] looking for the victim shivering in bed
[01:21.70] searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
[01:26.73] suddenly!
[01:28.05] a movement in the corner of the room!
[01:31.35] and there is nothing i can do
[01:34.54] when i realise with fright
[01:36.54] that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
[01:42.42]
[02:02.49] quietly he laughs and shaking his head
[02:07.26] creeps closer now
[02:08.93] closer to the foot of the bed
[02:12.13] and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
[02:17.55] his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
[02:22.50] "be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
[02:27.39] don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
[02:33.17] for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
[02:37.61] the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
[02:42.61]
[02:43.23] and i feel like i'm being eaten
[02:45.39] by a thousand million shivering furry holes
[02:52.68] and i know that in the morning i will wake up
[02:56.82] in the shivering cold
[02:59.83]
[03:01.77] and the spiderman is always hungry...
