Spider Web Songtext
von Joan Osborne

(I dreamed about Ray Charles last night)
(And he could see just fine)

Dreamed about Ray Charles last night
And he could see just fine, you know

I asked him for a lullaby
He said, "Honey, I don′t sing no more"

No more, no more
No more, Ray don't sing no more

He said, "Since I got my eyesight back,
My voice has just deserted me
No ′Georgia On My Mind' no more
I stay in bed with MTV"

And then Ray took his glasses off
And I could look inside his head
Flashing like a thunderstorm
I saw a shining spider web

Spider web, spider web (spider web)
Spider web in Ray Charles' head (in his head)


I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
He took me flying in the air
Showed me my own spider web
Said, "Honey, you had best take care"

The world is made of spider webs
The threads are stuck to me and you
Careful what you′re wishing for
′Cause when you gain, you just might lose
You just might lose your

Spider web, spider web (spider web)
Spider web, Ray Charles said (yes, he said)

When you're feeling lonely
When you′re hiding in your bed
Don't forget your string of pearls
Don′t forget your spider web

Mm, and when I go to sleep tonight
Don't let me dream of brother Ray

No, no, no don′t
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees
Just like him best the other way

Oh, spider web, spider web (spider web)
Spider web, Ray Charles said (yes he said)


Oh, spider web (spider web)
Spider web in Ray Charles′ head (in his head)
(Spider web)

All I got′s my spider web, keepin' me alive
All I got′s my spider web, keepin' me alive

(C′mon, Ray)
