Spinning Arachne The birds are picking at the cherries in your lovely tapestry Spinning Arachne Looming over the loom in the middle of the room I see you spinning Arachne The bears are hungry for the berries in your country fantasies Spinning Arachne The gray-eyed goddess Athena's in the plume Harbinger of doom Don't Challenge the gods Don't Especially that one Because if you do Oh, Arachne A black spider You will become And there's nothing more frightening than a Black spider spinning in the mind Spinning Arachne How your cheeks they get to pouting when attention you're not getting Don't game with that play You'll give birth to sleeping beauty, Gretchen, little Asian children Weaving the future Trying so hard to make it pretty, trying so hard to really matter Next To Pallas Athena I won't even go there I won't even go there I won't even go there Oh, Arachne Just don't Challenge the gods Don't Especially that one Don't Challenge the gods Don't Especially that one Because if you do Oh, Arachne A black spider you will become And there's nothing more frightening than a Black spider spinning in the mind
