I spy something that begins with s...

On candystripe legs the spiderman comes,
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun,
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead,
Looking for the victim shivering in bed,
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do,
When I realize with fright,
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head,
Creeps closer now, closer to the foot of the bed,
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies,
His arms are around me and his tongue in my eyes,
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy,
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more,
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light,
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight".

And I feel like I'm being eaten,
By a thousand million shivering furry holes,
And I know that in the morning I will wake up,
In the shivering cold,
And the spiderman is always hungry...

  • This is the video that would make a very scary movie. I love that Robert can do that. Normally his songs are uplifting but a song like this where he's talking about spider man eating him for dinner makes me puke in my mouth a little. He can do it up, a lot of singers/ bands just can't do that. XP

  • perfect <3

  • I'll always associate this song with burlesque mysticism. Saw Dita Von Teese premiere her act "The Opium Den" with Lullaby as the music theme. Masterful.

  • @keyscott1 This song is not about child abuse.  A little research on the internet will prove it. It's simply about a story he was told as a child that scared him.

  • he looks like michael jackson
