SPIDER IN THE TOY BOX - by Ray O'Bannon


spider in the toy box doesn't like the light of day
deep within the shadows till the sunshine melts away
waiting for the moonlight to fall upon my bed
then spider crawls into my ear and whispers in my head so softly

chorus:
I have to do what the spider tells me
deep in the night how it's voice compells me
please help me, please, can't you free me from the
spider in the toy box
and I'm so afraid but the spider guides me
I hear it crawling along beside me
please help me, please, can't someone crush the
spider in the toy box, spider in the toy box

I still recall a time when everything seemed good and right
spider in the toy box
then came the spider full of poison, scraping softly in the night
spider in the toy box
and now my tattered soul shall greet the daylight nevermore
a dark and ruined parody of all I was befor
and in the deepest shadows I shall hide forevermore just like a
spider in the toy box, spider in the toy box

starlight fills the window and I hear the spider call to me
promises a rainbow but it brings me only misery
nasty little spider crawling 'round my brain
promising such pleasure and bringing only screaming pain but

(chorus)
spider in the toy box, spider in the toy box...
