Hopeful Spiders

The sun is going down

The stars cast pale, blue light

There's movement underground

This garden is alive

Restless hearts, come to me yeah yeah yeah

Hear the news

A billion legs spreading fourth

A million hungry eyes to take back what was ours

Or squashed by morning's light

Broken hearts gather round yeah yeah yeah

Come and see...

As hopeful spiders try to climb up endless walls

To sink their hooks in, always doomed to fall back down

Reckless earthworms crawl with stars in their eyes

Across trencherous sidewalks, and dry out in the sunshine
