Jewel in a Cobweb
[Verse 1]
Well she's a jewel in a cobweb
He thought that he could hider her
And once you get to know him
He's quite an ugly spider
So everybody wonders why
This pretty little gem just doesn't leave
She's a jewel in a cobweb
And man does he know how to weave
[Verse 2]
The first time I laid eyes on her
She thoroughly charmed me
But he had two legs around her
And that completely disarmed me
My friends knew I didn't like him
They said just be smart
And try to act nice
She's a jewel in a cobweb
He's a genius at getting paid for bad advice
[Chorus]
Jewel in a cobweb
(Sleeping off the night time in a cheap hotel)
Jewel in a cobweb
(Staring like a zombie in a magic spell)
You can reach for the jewel
But look out for the spider's bite
[Verse 3]
Well she looks at someone sideways
And he immediately suspects her
But from what I hear
He's quite a savvy jewelry collector
He picks up for a couple days
And takes off who knows where
Without a trace
When you got so many valuables
Be foolish to store them all in one place
[Chorus]
Jewel in a cobweb
(Sleeping off the night time in a cheap hotel)
Jewel in a cobweb
(Staring like a zombie in a magic spell)
You can reach for the jewel
But look out for the spider's bite
[Verse 4]
He must be supplying something
Or she'd leave a place this creepy
One thing keeps her up too much
The other makes her sleey
I said she should be the jewel
In the eye of a bird that soars
She said these free flying birds
Are they happy or are they bored
[Chorus]
Jewel in a cobweb
(Sleeping off the night time in a cheap hotel)
Jewel in a cobweb
(Staring like a zombie in a magic spell)
You can reach for the jewel
But look out for the spider's bite
[Verse 5]
Well goodbye my lovely jewel
The pot has ceased to simmer
What used to glow seductively
Now scarcely shows a glimmer
And when this spider's going down
I guarantee he won't go down alone
Someone's gonna wreck this cobweb
But by then you'll look like another stone
[Chorus]
Jewel in a cobweb
(Sleeping off the night time in a cheap hotel)
Jewel in a cobweb
(Staring like a zombie in a magic spell)
You can reach for the jewel
But look out for the spider's bite
Jewel in a cobweb
(Sleeping off the night time in a cheap hotel)
Jewel in a cobweb
(Staring like a zombie in a magic spell)
You can reach for the jewel
But look out for the spider's bite
Jewel in a cobweb
