lyrics

Tell another lie to your mama who's getting by
Tell another joke to your brother who doesn't know the secrets you are keeping, the pain you won't give up
Tell another lie to your mama who's getting by

Give yourself a break and the sadness will go away
For all you hold inside, it's a wonder why you never hide
You know your time is coming, so keep your chin up
Give yourself a break and the sadness will go away

The thousand little eyes of the spider who caught the fly could be used by you on all the people you see through.
You know they might mean well, kid, but they'll never understand the thousand little eyes of the spider who caught the fly
