What was your name? Glad to meet ya
Never been to your place, but I know it
Twitching embrace, show me the spider
Try to disappear, back crack in the sofa

Slow poison working inside
Descending in a shadow, cocoon me then bite
Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

What day is today? Don't I know you?
19 and bold, bitten in Houston
Out to the car, picked up a spider
Anesthetize your face, loser beside ya

Repeat chorus "Slow poison working inside..."

Spun monkeys on the railroad track
Take me to the caine field
I walk along, pick my spiderbite

My old man wonders where I'm at
I'm still a child, guess I keep trying to pay him back

Arrogance stains, threading your silk tomb
Steady she drain, spider digest you
