Spider’s Web lyrics

[Verse 1]
They think we're fools sitting on the corner
Older you get, the more like your father
The more I drink, the more like my brother
Seem to have picked up on a callous trait
Hate people who think their life is a drama
Making in-jokes about Americana
Amusing myself is worth it for the karma
Obama sounds like Osama to me

[Verse 2]
Well, my bedroom's watched by an intifada
Kids with bricks or strips in Gaza
Point at me in my pyjamas
Laugh and scream, "Get out of bed!"
I say, "I am, I got plans, I'm meeting up with Martha"
(Sleepyheads)
I'm a shoulder, she's Robert Palmer
Acts like a twat but she's a top banana
Might as well admit she's addicted to love

[Chorus]
Caught in a spider's web
It's not the first time playing dead
I see I saw lovers undercover
No one found out until we left
Caught in a spider's web
It's not the first time playing dead
They know something, oh well, we're running
I know they'll catch up in the end
[Verse 3]
You walked in last with a dirty Barbour
Found me at the bar in fits of laughter
Said you've been seen out digging the past with Arthur
You'd rather just walk in the rain
At a party with Ash as they smash a piñata
Can I leave some stuff here for you to look after?
I'll be back around probably in the mid-summer
New York, New York, man, I love the city!

[Chorus]
Caught in a spider's web
It's not the first time playing dead
I see I saw lovers undercover
No one found out until we left
Caught in a spider's web
It's not the first time playing dead
They know something, oh well, we're running
I know they'll catch up in the end

[Refrain]
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?
[Verse 4]
Between a wheezing chest and a leaking ceiling
Baby next door screaming all evening
The beatings we got and the ones we're seeking
We're stubborn as f*ck and I'm proud to say
That me and Ben Skeleton mixed our own medicine
Never let a critic affect our direction
Barricade doors with our pale complexion
Program a beat, Bones, I'll just keep telling them
How selling them a brand is a band complication
A man in a room with a survey for the station
Trying to get it on air, no care for creation
I guess it's all part of indoctrination

[Refrain]
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?

[Chorus]
Caught in a spider's web
It's not the first time playing dead
I see I saw lovers undercover
No one found out until we left
Caught in a spider's web
It's not the first time playing dead
They know something, oh well, we're running
I know they'll catch up in the end
[Refrain]
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?
In the hustle and the bustle, I feel I'm in trouble
And I trip and then I stumble, I feel myself fall
In the hustle and the bustle, it's too rough
I tumble in the gravel and the rubble, can you hear me call?
