Key: :[D#m] (w: Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Porl Thompson, Roger O'Donnell, Boris Williams) (BPM: 94) IE#3 UK#5 US#23
INTRO: [D#m] [B] :
[x6]
VERSE 1:
On
[D#m] candystripe legs, spiderman comes
[B] Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
[D#m] Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
[B] Looking for the victim, shivering in bed
VERSE 2:
[D#m] Searching out fear, in the gathering gloom
And
[B] suddenly A movement in the corner of the room
And there is
[D#m] nothing I can do, when I realise with fright
That the
[B] spiderman is having me for dinner tonight
BREAK: [D#m] [B] :
[x2]
VERSE 3:
[D#m] Quietly he laughs, shaking his head
Creeps
[B] closer now, closer to the foot of the bed
And
[D#m] softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His
[B] arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
VERSE 4:
"Be
[D#m] still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy
Don't
[B] struggle like that, or I will only love you more
For it's
[D#m] much too late to get away or turn on the light
The
[B] spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
BRIDGE:
And I
[G#m] feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry
[B] holes
And I
[G#m] know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering
[B] cold
And the spiderman is always hungry
BREAK: [D#m] [B] :
