Spiders are singing in the salty breeze

Spiders are filling out tax returns

Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies

On a private beach in Michigan

On a private beach in Michigan

Hold a private light on a Michigan shore

From a microscopic home
G
It's good to be alone

You can be the stone
That raises from the dead
And carries us all home
There's no blood on my hands
I just do as I am told
