BeThisBell Lyrics

the spider 

the spider
BeTh isBell & David Rodgers

Boom Boom everybody knows, that's the way the story goes,
fight fight for your life when the spider comes (2x)

Little Miss Muffet was a friend of mine, on that fateful day,
everyone already knows she loved her curds & way,
along came a spider, big ugly and mean,
sat down beside her, and he tried to start a scene,
Little Miss Muffet picked upa gun and shot him in the head,
cause everyone knows if you fuck with Muff you're going to wind up dead

Little Miss Muffet sat her ass on a tuffet
eating her curds & her way
along came a spider who sat down beside her
and frightened, Little Miss Muffet away!

Boom Boom everybody knows, that's the way the story goes, 
fight fight for your life when the spider comes (3x)

Boom, Boom!
Boom, Boom!
Boom,Boom!

I, think I'm losing, my mind
And I, baby I'm crying, baby I'm crying all the time
Without you

That I, want to give you everything, and I'm about to lose control
Without you

I just want to hold you, one more time
And I just want to feel your, love sublime
And I don't like the way we've, been deprived
And I just want to hold you, one more time

And I, baby I want you, to find a real real love
And I, baby I miss you, and there's a hole in my soul
Without you

I just want to hold you, one more time
And I just want to feel your, love sublime 
And I don't like the way we've, been deprived

v.1
And I am just a junkie
With this needle in my arm
And everybody on Second Street has had their way with me
Hey Humboldt, where's the charm?

Hey Humboldt!

v.2
Now I live on Second Street and I'm a whore
One guy paid me $50 but he wanted more,
And when I said I didn't play that way,
You know, the bastard, he took my life away

Hey Humboldt!

v.3
And I am just a junkie
With this needle in my arm
And I smoke dabz on the weekend
Because they do not know the same Jah

Hey Humboldt!

v.4
It's 4:20, got to have our fun
Hey Humboldt, you are the one
And I've had sex with the mountain gods in my dreams
Your rock and roll just makes me scream

Hey Humboldt!
It's 4:20
Hey Humboldt!
It's 420

v.1
Vonnegut can see my twisted future, from his front porch,
He wrote it down, in my hometown (2x)
Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, in my hometown,
We light one up and burn it down

ch.
All my dreams have died in this city …
Schenectady, Schenectady!
The city that lights and hauls the world (3x) …
And all our crap to you!

v.2
Things they never change, they stay the same, in my hometown,
It’s burning down to the ground (2x)
The world is tripping and I’m not getting any younger, so I light one up,
in my hometown, and burn it down!
The world is tripping and I’m not getting any younger, so I light one up,
and my hometown is burning now!

v.1
Sittin' in this darkness,
Smoke my weed,
And you don't understand,
What it means to me

Hiding in the shadows,
With my disease,
And I hope you don't catch,
What's inside of me.


v.2
Bucket full of kerosene,
All over me,
Johnny with a match now,
Guess it's time to bleed

And the Mushroom Lady,
Says drink this tea,
It'll make you feel better,
When it's time to bleed.


v.3
Bucket full of kerosene,
All over me,
Johnny with a match now,
Guess it's time to bleed

And the Mushroom Lady,
Says drink this tea,
It'll make you feel better,
When it's time to bleed.

v.1
Sometimes, when I'm feeling down,
I feel the breeze and I smile,
It's always the little things that mean the most,
Trial after trial after trial

Life is a test of my angel soul,
And we all have a light that shines,
So even when it's cloudy, I still believe in you,
And inside this soul, I feel fine


pre-ch.
And there ain't no reason for us to ever cry,
'Cuz we're all big stars in this great earth & sky,
so take your light ...


ch.
And shine on!  Shine on!  Shine on!
Shine on!  Shine on!  Shine on!
Shine on!  Shine on!  Shine on!
Oh come on people, you got to take your light and shine on!
  You got to let everybody around you see the star that you are!
And shine on!


v.2
We're all big stars in this universe,
And everybody has a light that shines,
We're all big stars in this universe,
And inside this world, I feel fine


pre-ch.
And there ain't no reason for us to ever cry,
'Cuz we're all big stars in this great earth & sky,
so take your light ...


ch.
And shine on! Shine on! Shine on!
Shine on! Shine on! Shine on!
Shine on! Shine on! Shine on!
Oh come on people, you got to take your light and shine on!

You got to take your light, and shine on, shine on, shine on,
And shine on!
 

Words

ch.
Your words are killing my soul,
You stand up on high, just to make me feel low,
I give you my love, but you take all control,
And your words are killing my soul


v.1
It's hell to be all and ever want more,
The prices you pay for your dreams are paved with your woe,
And I may be a fool for all that you know,
But these dreams that you kill in my head still never let go


ch.
Your words are killing my soul,
You stand up on high, just to make me feel low,
And I may be a fool for all that you know,
But your words are killing my soul


v.2
I don't understand why it tortures you so,
You claw & you claw & you claw 'til I'm down in your hole,
You tear down my love with your lack of a soul,
But the prizes you want me to prize only melt down to gold


ch.
Your words are killing my soul,
You stand up on high, just to make me feel low,
You tear down my love with your lack of a soul,
And your words are killing my soul

v.1
I love the way your body makes me feel,
And the way your lips can seal the deal,

I always want to be with you, be mine,

Fuck you, you fucking bitch!
Fuck you, you fucking bitch!
Fuck you, you fucking bitch!
You cunt!

But I can't even raise you on the phone,

I'll give you everything a girl could need,
I'll even let you do your dirty deed,

... right here on this bridge! ...


v.3
Hey Ruby, I just want you to be mine,
Come and be my little concubine,
Just say the word and help me see the sign,

Fuck you, you fucking bitch!
Fuck you, you fucking bitch!
You cunt!
 

Moment 

"Moment"
by Beth Isbell
© 2011 BeThisBell


v.1
I've worked all my life to be good at this thing,
that you cheer, that I fight, just to fly, get it right,
And I try and I try and I try and I try,
I claw and I scratch just to light this wet match

The fire it burns through the rain and the hail,
The seasons fly by like I'm sitting in jail,
And I run and I run like I'm standing in place,
Through the tears and the pain of my frustrated brain


pre-ch.
And ask why?
Did'ya have to make it so high?
And I try and I try and I try and I try,
I keep up the fight, 'cuz I must get it right


ch.
'Cuz I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
And I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
Yeah, I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
with you


v.2
The latest dark princess is singing her song,
Asking me about life and where it went wrong,
And my friends sing along like they all know the tale,
While I stumble and fall and feel like I fail


pre-ch.
And ask why?
Did'ya have to make it so high?
And I try and I try and I try and I try,
I keep up the fight, 'cuz I must get it right


ch.
'Cuz I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
And I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
Yeah, I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
with you


v.3
I'm sitting on top of this step at the bottom of life,
Looking up at the sky and I'm wondering,
Why is my life such a wreck, such a hell,
And I finally stop and I ring my own bell,
I open my wings and take to the sky


pre-ch.
And I fly,
Where dreams testify,
When you finally decide just to be who you are.
The world opens up just to make you a star


ch.
And I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
And I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
And, I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
Yeah, I love (love, love) the way that I feel in this moment,
with you
