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
