Lyrics

To the spider's house
Creeping out
Innocence in heat
Vine of memories
Tangling Me

From a serpent's egg
Slip away
From this plastic shell
Man of fantasy
Poisoned the well

Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
Leave your gift
It's your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling

Green and grassy place
Monkey face
My gyrating fear
Faith a talisman
Drawing you near

Tent of miracles
Overfull
Twisting in my place
What I never tell
'Till it's too late

Leave your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling
Leave your gift
It's your wish on the wailing wall
It's the promise of all calling

Will she follow me
Swallowing
Juju beads I shake
Milk of mystery
Take me away

In a pyramid
Katioid
There is no excuse
When her kingdom comes
Nothing to do
