Spider on a Fly

Spider on a fly

Catch me lame
Pray on my weakness
You can slow me down
When I’m sleepless

I get carried away
When I’m confused
So whatever you say
Will be something true

And I can breathe at ease
And soothe my fears
You can do as you please
This is music to my ears

I’m a light headed fall guy
A heavy handed fool
I don’t have a sharp eye
I’m the pigeon on the stool

Show me the form
And where do I sign
Lie about the benefits
Stand me in line

I’m there for the picking
You’re here for your vote
Am I the egg or the chicken
I can’t swim across your moat
