i fell into the sticky
rash of racist posts....and this made me smile;
it's ironic metaphor is rather appropriate, too.

"Spider Web"(5:34)
(J. Osborne, R. Chertoff, G. Lucas, S. Merendino, C. Palmaro)
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."
Then Ray took his glasses off
and I could look inside his head
Flashing like a thunderstorm
I saw a shining spider web.
{chorus} Spider web (3x)
In Ray Charles' head
I dreamed about Ray Charles last night
He took me flying in the air
Showed my own spider webs
Said, "Honey, you had best take care.
The world is made of spider webs
The threads are stuck to me and you
Be careful what you're wishing for
Cause when you gain you just might lose"
"You just might lose your...
Spider web" (3x)
What Ray Charles said.

{b}
When your feelin' lonely
When you're hidin' in your bed
Don't forget your string of pearls
Don't forget your spider web
When I go to sleep tonight
Don't let me dream of brother Ray
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees
Just like him best the other way
Spider web (3x)
What Ray Charles said.
In Ray Charles head
All I gots my spider web
Keepin' me alive
C'mon Ray |
