Spiders In My Brain

It didn’t take me very long to figure out that he was different from all the 
other kids in school. 
But I didn’t know he had spiders in his brain...

No, I don’t remember when I first heard these sounds in my head, my head. 
At first they weren’t so bad. 
But now they’re driving me insane – 
it’s bad, so sad and it’s driving me mad, me mad. 
C’mon, it can be so bad... 
...I keep telling myself – c’mon, c’mon, hold on! 
Have some tea and let the strain go away. 

(bridge) 
No, I can’t explain the pain inside my brain. 
Oh, my head is cracking up. Every day is the same. 
No, I can’t restrain the pain inside my brain. 
Oh, my head is bursting open. Every day is the same. 
I got spiders in my brain.

(refrain) 
Spiders in my brain are driving me insane. 
Spiders in my brain are driving me insane in the membrane... 
...in the membrane...in the membrane...in the membrane. 

I went to the doctors and I went to a priest. 
I talked to my mother, my father, to the bird and the bees. 
They said c’mon, c’mon, hold on it can’t be so bad. 
I got a headache in the morning and when I got to bed. 
Oh yeah, it’s driving me insane, insane. 
I feel the spiders tapping on my brain. 
I keep telling myself, c’mon, c’mon, hold on! 
Have some pills and let the pain go away.
