At the first show we ever played, we threw this and Alligator Bop into the set. You can find it somewhere on youtube I believe. From what I know, Pete wrote this song, sitting in the kitchen of his old apartment, while watching a spider actually come down from the ceiling. Putting together the full band version of this song was a lot of fun, and when the song picks up halfway through is still one my favorite parts of this record!

Lyrics:

Spider,

why are you hanging around?

Spider,

why are you hanging around?

Get out of our kitchen,

and go get a job.

It’s not fair,

for you to live here.

Spider,

why are you hanging around?

Spider,

why are you hanging around?

Get your eyes off of my donuts,

I’m going to eat them all.

It’s not fair,

for you to live here.

Go to your home,

you don’t have a home?

It’s not fair,

I guess I can learn share.

Dangling on down from the ceiling,

trying to land on something appealing.

Swiftly at first but not anticipating,

a sudden wind from the vent.

Hanging on by barely a thread at all…
