Story behind the song
The mechanism of life
Lyrics
Oh How quick the night does fall as he picks up his brush and writes upon the wall yeah his eyes they shine blood red and he knows the words to say and he knows hte things to do and he knows just what he needs to love and conquer you Hes like the long legged fly upon the stream, long legged fly running to be wild e a Hes like the sotne statue spider in her web stone statue spider waiting for the kill e a Oh how quick she leaves my side e g a as she takes up her cross and lays her self wide my blood a necklace round her life drips to her cries on her nylons and her thighs and she knows the words to say and she knows hte things to do and she knows just what she needs to love and conquer you sHes like hte long legged fly upon the stream, long legged fly running to be wild e a sHes like the sotne statue spider in her web stone statue spider waiting for the kill e A Oh how cheap they sell their souls to their victims and their goals take the ones that still remain all beads in a silver chain To feel or not to feel what man has made of man and they know the words to say and they know the things to do and they knows just what they need to love and conquer you tHey like the long legged fly upon the stream, long legged fly running to be wild they like the stone statue spider in her web stone statue spider waiting for the kill

Phsykedelic soundscape with a Dylan feel in the vocals. I always struggle with lyrics as my ears are tuned in to the music not the lyrics.. But I liked what I heared! You have a very very cool dark and mysterious voice my friend.

more deep lyrics to digest Rodger...this one is quite a vivid and sorta scary story. The Fx are spooky...gives it an ominous sound. Wild....
