Spider Jiving
Andy Fairweather Low Lyrics

There's a dead man's hand
Something bad or ominous is happening or about to happen

Floating in the sky
The situation is surreal or unbelievable

Big nose people passing by
People are oblivious to the danger or strangeness of the situation

Crusing around on a mountain of air
People are seemingly carefree or unbothered despite the looming danger

Crusing around cause
People are just waiting for a safe place to land

[Chorus:]
The following lines are the chorus of the song

Won't someone take away these blues
The singer is feeling sad or down and needs help

It's a shame but when I lose, I lose
The singer is experiencing a streak of bad luck or failure

I can't survive too much spider jive
The singer is unable to handle or tolerate deceitful, tricky behavior

I'm just about hanging on
The singer is barely managing to stay afloat or cope with his situation

Oh, Lord, don't make a poor boy run
The singer doesn't want to run away from his problems or fears

It ain't easy living under a gun
The singer feels constantly threatened or oppressed

Insanity's keeping me company
The singer is feeling unstable or overwhelmed

Insanity's on the loose
The singer is worried that his mental state is getting worse

There's an angel of madness
Someone or something is causing the singer to feel crazy or irrational

And she's bringing me down
The singer is feeling more and more helpless or depressed

She won't rest until
The source of the singer's problems seems relentless or unstoppable

I'm in the ground
The singer feels like he is doomed or fated to fail

I'll keep searching everywhere I go
The singer is determined to find a way out of his problems or to find answers to his questions

Find the answers that no one knows
The singer feels like he is alone in his struggle or that there are no easy solutions

You can't paint pictures
It is impossible to make something beautiful or meaningful out of something worthless or empty

On a scarecrow's hat
The object or person being referenced is useless or ineffective

Cause everybody's nobody
Everyone is the same or insignificant in the grand scheme of things

And that's a fact
The singer believes this statement to be true and unchangeable

Rich man, poor man, no one is safe.
Everyone is vulnerable or at risk, regardless of their social status or wealth

You can try all you want, but you can't escape
There is no way to avoid or run from the dangers or problems in life

[Repeat chorus]
The chorus is repeated to emphasize the singer's feelings of hopelessness or despair
