Chrysalis

[Verse 1]
Spider weaves a spit green sea
That tangles up and drowns the fly, poor fly
Well, he's got pneumonia just like me
But he can't swim as well as I

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I realized, as I watched him die
Near this bed of mine

[Chorus]
There was a secret to vision
A fairy tale madness
Rise on a mercury pearl

[Verse 2]
I was stranglin' the blankets, sweatin'
Fightin' for my poor short life, poor fly
Floating infinitesimal
I felt it bloom with graceful eyes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So I said good-bye
With my future joys lying mummified

[Chorus]
There was a secret to vision
A fairy tale madness
Rise on a mercury pearl

[Bridge]
Steam heater hissing, grandma is kissing
Staring at my box of colored chalk
The thermometer shaking, fever is breaking
Comin' down like Jack from his big stalk

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Thus my little room became the cocoon
For my senses five

[Chorus]
There was a secret to vision
A fairy tale madness
Rise on a mercury pearl
Rise on a mercury...
I'm here to give you my world
