Lyrics

The itsy bitsy spider
Went up the water spout
Opened up the window
And now he's in your house
Watching from a distance
Silhouettes in the glow
Snapping little moments
No one else could ever know
Faces out of focus, caught in windows, caught in glass
A preview of the future of what's coming to pass
Little fly in the hallway, little insect in the street
Every flutter of your wings, I'm learning your routine
Up the drainpipe, up and up, same ritual, same climb
Fall down, rise up, a little higher every time
It's the hunger in the pattern, the pulse I must obey
The spider always finds you, you'll never get away
Storms may try to stop me, but storms will never win
I just shake off the water
And make the climb again
The itsy bitsy spider
Is watching from afar
Writing down the license number
Of your brand new car
Itsy bitsy spider
Climbing up again
Rain keeps falling
Tries to do me in
Wash me through the gutters
Still I play to win
Little fly, little fly
Come on, let me in
Boxes on the dresser
Little trophies that I keep
Ribbons, hair, and jewelry
Secrets buried deep
Little flies caught in photos, my ritual, my art
Circling every face in red before I eat their little heart
The curve in their posture, the flicker in their eyes
My little creeping, crawling creatures, each a different prize
Fragments of their memory, a story meant to fade
Little flies preserved inside the webs I made
A predator preparing before the curtain call
I hum my little nursery rhyme as I watch her body fall
Storms may wash me sideways, tides may try to win
But I just shake off the water
And start the hunt again
Itsy bitsy spider
Climbing through the night
Rain keeps pouring
But I hold on tight
Wash me down the spout
I always rise again
Little fly, little fly
Let the spider in
Then I saw you in the lamplight
Little twinkle in the night
Lifted up my camera
Blurred edges catching light
Circled you in crimson, marked you like the rest
But something in your laughter put a tremor in my chest
Met you with your girlfriends
Had to learn your name
Told myself I'd take you
When the moment came
But days turned into weeks and somehow
Somehow you tangled up my thread
Kept reaching in for just a taste
Instead of seeing red
Kept you safe inside my web though you never even knew
Every time you flashed a smile, I forgot what I was due
Had me twisted in my own silk, confusion bittersweet
First prey I ever held
First fly I did not eat
The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the water spout
Down came the rain
Trying to wash the spider out
Your death is the sun
That will dry up all the rain
So the itsy bitsy spider
Can stalk his prey again
Couldn't finish what I started
Couldn't make you disappear
Still don't know why I spared you
Don't know what drew you here
But every time I see you, girl, the storm begins again
Can't free myself from my own web
Can't let this story end
Hush
Hush
