Lyrics
Dm            F

I see a spider on the door

E                    C

Spinning its way down to the floor

Flies mesmerized by the silver pattern

Spirals like the rings of saturn

Caught in the fibers of spiders' webbing

The vampires rise as the sun is setting

Are you still moving towards the door

With the spiderweb down to the floor

What would you do if I would say

Come to an island far away

Paradise is miles away

On the morrow's eve we'll fly away
