and the rain would fall (/The Cure)



On candystrip legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadows of the evening sun
stealing pass the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom
and suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room
and there is nothing i can do
when i realise with fright that spiderman
is having me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closer now closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are all around me and his tongue
in my eyes"be still be calm be quiet now my precious
boy don't struggle like that or i will only love
you more for it's much too late to get away or to turn
on the light the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering
furry holes and i know that in the morning i will wake up
in the shivering cold and that spiderman is always hungry . . .
