The Spider and the Fly (Live)

Sittin', thinkin', sinkin', drinkin'

Wonderin' what I'd do when I'm through tonight

Mopin', hopin', maybe just hopin'

Some little girl will pass on by

Don't wanna be alone, I love my girl at home

I remember what she said

She said, my, my, my, don't tell lies

Keep fidelity in your head

My, my, my, don't tell lies

When you've done the show go to bed

Don't say hi like a spider to a fly

Jump right ahead and you're dead

And sit up, fed up, wait up, slow down

Down to the bar at the place I'm at

Sittin', drinkin', superficially thinkin'

About the rinsed out blonde on my left

And then I said, hi, like a spider to a fly

Rememberin' what the little girl said, alright

She was common, shift, she looked about 50

I woulda run away but I was on my own

She told me later she's a machine operator

She said she liked the way I held the microphone

And then I said, hi, like a spider to a fly

Jump right ahead in my web

And then I said, hi, like a spider to a fly

I jump right ahead and you're dead
