Spiders
Lay/Leetch/Smith/Urbanowicz Lyrics

Now you can't do it fast, it won't be an ? you
Taking your time is important; rushing will only hinder progress

I'm not going to bed
I'm staying up late, regardless of the consequences

Just do it, do it, that's right
Encouragement to take action and seize the moment

Saving all my money for a pocketful of love
Prioritizing love and relationships over material possessions

And food in my tummy
Basic needs, like food, are important

Chocolate and broccoli
Balancing indulgence with healthy choices

Sand and dirt and squashing snails
Enjoying simple pleasures and finding beauty in nature

I'm never going to bed but if I do
Emphasizing the desire to stay up and enjoy life

Selfish crocodile's coming too
Acknowledging that one must also care for oneself

Train sets, birthdays and re-living
Nostalgia and the desire to recapture childhood joys

Pizzas, diggers and dirty things
Celebrating fun and messy experiences

What I want is a car like Noddy
A childlike desire for adventure and independence

And to live with the monkeys in the zoo
Fascination with animals and nature

Hungry caterpillar's coming too
Acknowledging the importance of nourishment and growth

He's coming, yeah
Building suspense for the arrival of a mysterious figure

On candy stripe legs, spider man comes
Describing the arrival of the sinister 'spider man'

Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Creating a tone of foreboding and danger

Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Suggesting that the dangers of the spider man go unnoticed by most

Looking for the victim, shivering in bed
The spider man preys on those who are vulnerable and afraid

Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
The spider man thrives on causing terror and distress

Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
The tension rises as the spider man approaches

And there is nothing I can do and I realize with fright
Feeling helpless and afraid in the face of danger

The spider man is having me for dinner tonight
The spider man is a predator taking his prey

Under the covers, boy
A sense of safety and protection from the outside world

You been reading those comics for hours
Time flies when you're lost in a good story

I bet you didn't know your dad had super powers
Surprise and excitement at discovering new things about a loved one

Now where's your dinner
Reminders to focus on basic needs like sustenance

When we play down the rules with your ma?
Discussion of domestic responsibilities and relationships

She gave me vexed when me flex me ex-rapism
Joking around with wordplay and humor

It'll come son, the way is you'll develop it later on
Assurance that skills and talents develop with time and practice

Also the back river run for nothing but wisdom
The value of experiences and learning from them

'Cause you're the born sky walker, I may be everyone
Encouragement to pursue one's passions and dreams

Now give me your comic book
A reminder to prioritize other responsibilities

Go to sleep and don't make your mama come
Mandel'as strict parenting style

She the only one with the kryptonite
Acknowledging that parental authority and influence is powerful

So I don't wanna hear another peep, alright?
Setting clear expectations for behavior and obedience

Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly
A sinister invitation to danger and deception

For I have a little something here
Implied threat or temptation

Here it comes, here it comes
Building anticipation and excitement

Yeah, life bring it on, give it to me
Embracing new experiences and challenges

I love it, I can't get enough
An attitude of positivity and gratitude

I can never get enough sleep
Admitting that even with all the excitement of life, rest is still essential

What is this?
A question of curiosity and wonder

Headphones
A simple answer to the previous question

What is it for doing?
A desire for deeper understanding

So you put them on your ears
An explanation of how headphones are used

And you can hear music
Describing the primary function of headphones

From there?
A question of logistics and mechanics

Yeah, from the microphone
An explanation of how sound is transmitted to the headphones

What's that in the microphone?
Further inquiry about the technology and equipment

A diaphragm
A technical answer to the previous question

I, I speak in the microphone
A playful reference to being recorded or heard

Heyo, heyo, heyo
An unexplained chant or mantra
