Chrysalis

Spider weaves a spit green sea
 That tangles up and drowns the fly -- poor fly
 Well, he's got pneumonia just like me
 But he can't swim as well as I
 And I realized as I watched him die
 Near this bed of mine
 There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness
 Rise on mercury pearl
 I was strangled in the blankets sweatin'
 Fightin' for my poor short life -- poor fly
 Floating infinitesemal I felt it bloom with graceful eyes
 And I said good-bye to my future joys
 Lying mummified.
 There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness
 Rise on mercury pearl
 Steam heater hissing, grandma is kissing,
 Staring at my box of colored chalk
 The thermometer shaking
 Fear is breaking
 Comin' down like Jack from his bean stalk
 Thus my little room became the cocoon
 For my senses five.
 There was a secret to vision, a fairy tale madness
 Rise on mercury pearl
 Rise on mercury I'm here to give you my world.
