Spider weaves a spit green sea   That tangles up and drowns the fly -- poor fly   Well, he's got pneumonia just like me   But he can't swim as well as I   And I realized as I watched him die   Near this bed of mine   There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness   Rise on mercury pearl   I was strangled in the blankets sweatin'   Fightin' for my poor short life -- poor fly   Floating infinitesemal I felt it bloom with graceful eyes   And I said good-bye to my future joys   Lying mummified.   There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness   Rise on mercury pearl   Steam heater hissing, grandma is kissing,   Staring at my box of colored chalk   The thermometer shaking   Fear is breaking   Comin' down like Jack from his bean stalk   Thus my little room became the cocoon   For my senses five.   There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness   Rise on mercury pearl   Rise on mercury I'm here to give you my world.
