Parquet Courts Black Widow Spider Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm trying to forget about someone I love
I'm trying to leave a person behind
I'm trying not to think about someone dear
But trying don't work sometimes
I'm trying not to picture a face I saw
A face that has been burned in my mind
I'm trying not to think of seeing it again
Was that the final time?

[Verse 2]
I'm trying to save the money for something I want
Something I hope will give peace of mind
But peace comes in pieces of pea-sized bits
Will I get enough in time?
I go out to a movie in the city when
I can't seem to shake off a mood
I like to watch an actor and act like them Pretend I'm a different dude

[Chorus]
Eyes on my every move
Black widow spider
Climb, climb, climb into me
Black widow spider
[Verse 3]
I never wanted nothing from no one
No, I never asked for anything more
But lies are to be suffered and never told
The way I did before
I'm trying to forget about someone I love
I'm trying to leave the person behind
I'm trying not to think about someone dear
But trying don't work sometimes

[Chorus 2]
Always my company
Black widow spider
Climb, climb, climb into me
Black widow spider
