the spider man - looper lyrics

i always take the same way home:
straight up university avenue, then right on byres road
and at the top i turn onto observatory, then down the lane and home
i don’t even think about it anymore
i just start walking and twenty minutes later i’ll find myself there
but one night i found myself lost –
i looked up and i was on sydenham road
and i’d no idea how i’d got there

i waited for a while to see if anything was going to happen;
to see if i’d come there for any reason –
but there was n0body about, and everything was quiet
and i walked home round kensington gate
and i forgot about it

but since then more and more stuff like that has started happening
more things i used to do without thinking about them
have started coming out differently
and i’ve started spending hours doing things i’ve got no interest in –
with no idea why i’m doing them
but unable to stop

i catch myself listening to bands i’ve always hated before
listening to their records over and over
and sometimes when i’m typing
a whole different bunch of words appear on the page
from the ones i had in my head

a few nights ago i went into barrats to buy the newspaper i always buy –
but when i got outside, i realized i’d bought something entirely different
i was holding a magazine i’d never seen before
something about science and nature
i started reading it on the way home, and there was this article in there
about a wasp that lays its eggs in the body of a spider
the wasp stings the spider, and a short while after the eggs have been laid
the spider starts to weave a new kind of web –
a kind of web it’s never woven before –
without knowing why it’s doing it
but when the spider dies, it turns out that what it’s woven
is a cocoon for the baby wasps
a place for them to hatch from
and they grow safely in there, while they feed on the spider’s body

i threw the magazine away, and made sure i took the right streets home
and i tried to remember if maybe i’d been stung by that kind of wasp

and i started wondering how you would get rid of something like that…
