Spiderbite Lyrics by Jerry Cantrell

Degradation Trip, Volumes 1 & 2

2002

[Intro]
'Caine
('Caine)
'Caine

[Verse 1]
What was your name? Damn glad to meet ya
Never been to your place, but I know it
Twitching embrace, show me the spider
Try to disappear, back crack in the sofa

[Refrain]
'Caine
'Caine
'Caine

[Chorus]
Slow poison working inside
Descending in shadow, cocoon me, then bite
'Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

[Refrain]
'Caine
Yeah
'Caine ('Caine)

[Verse 2]
What day is today? Don't I know you?
Nineteen and bold, bitten in Houston
Out to the car, picked up a spider
Anesthetize your face, loser beside ya

[Chorus]
Slow poison working inside
Descending in shadow, cocoon me, then bite
'Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

Slow poison working inside
Descending in shadow, cocoon me, then bite
'Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

[Bridge]
Spun monkeys on the railroad track
Take me to the 'caine field
I... walk along, pick my spiderbite

I... My old man wonders where I'm at
I'm... still a child
Guess I keep trying to pay him back

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Arrogance stains, threading your silk tomb
Steady she drain, spider digest you

[Chorus]
Slow poison working inside
Descending in shadow, cocoon me, then bite
'Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

Slow poison working inside
Descending in shadow, cocoon me, then bite
'Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

[Outro]
Slow poison working inside
Descending in shadow, cocoon me, then bite
'Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain

Slow poison working inside
Descending in shadow, cocoon me, then bite
'Caine spider give to me pain
Got a caterpillar body and a butterfly brain
