Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's a city
Draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light
In the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
[Verse 2]
Moving and glistening and rocking
It's babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins
[Verse 3]
There were hundreds of people living here
Sails at the windows
And the planes came crashing down
And many a pilot drowned
And the speed boats flying above
Put your hand over the side of the boat
And what do you feel?
[Verse 4]
My mother
And her little brown jug
It held her milk
And now it holds our memories
I can her singing
[Verse 5]
Little brown jug, don't I love thee?
Little brown jug, don't I love thee?
Ho, ho, ho, hee, hee, hee
[Verse 6]
Little brown jug, don't I love thee?
Little brown jug, don't I love thee?
[Verse 7]
I hear her laughing
She is standing in the kitchen
As we come in the back door
[Verse 8]
See it fall
See it fall
Oh, little spider
Climbing out of a broken jug
[Verse 9]
And the pieces will lay there awhile
In a house draped in net
In a room filled with coral
Sails at the windows, forests of masts
Put your hand over the side of the boat
Put your hand over the side of the boat
And what do you feel?
