Back in May, I had a funny feelin' That's when bad news called me on the phone He said, "The one you love, he needs a doctor" There were signs, I should have known Bad news came to my window And offered me advice And he whispered in my ear All the words I wasn't ready to hear It's the year of the spider (year of the spider) I went home to hold my old friend's hands but There wasn't hardly anything there When I wasn't looking, they had crumbled Leaving our time-worn web bare Bad news came to my window And offered me advice And he whispered in my ear All the words I wasn't ready to hear It's the year of the spider (year of the spider) Year of the spider (year of the spider) ♪ I know that change is good But it hurts, and it is frightful But you really gotta shake that tree And see all that it leaves It's the year of the spider (year of the spider) It's the year of the spider (year of the spider) It's the year of the spider (year of the spider) It's the year of the spider (year of the spider) Oh woah woah
