lyrics

A Yolk He’d Never Seen

Red-back spin your old web once again
Until you can spin no more
Dizzied by deception
You tumble to the floor

Tangled in your old ways
This time you have messed it up for sure
Exposed for all to see you, naked
Running for the door

Spider bites do not heal over night
Some infect while some decay
And if you do not treat her carefully
She might bite back
And you’ll become the prey

The Lyre bird she came along and she gave you everything
She picked you up and flew you around the earth
You gave her your promise
Said that you were being honest
But you weren’t being honest with yourself

She caught you out
Cracked your shell, and pouring out
Came a yolk you’d never seen
Ochre like your abdomen
Whatever could it mean?

Have you heard from your old rights and wrongs
Or have you spun out of control?
Pull yourself together and start a new
Before you lose it all
Before you lose it all
Before you lose it all
