Spider Web

Joan Osborne

I dreamed about Ray Charles last night



And he could see just fine



Dreamed about Ray Charles last night



And he could see just fine you know



I asked him for a lullaby



He said "Honey I don't sing no more"



No more no more no more



Ray don't sing no more



He said "Since I got my eyesight back



my voice has just deserted me.



No 'Georgia On My Mind' no more...



I stay in bed with MTV."



Then Ray took his glasses off



And I could look inside his head



Flashing like a thunderstorm



I saw a shining spider web



Spider web (repeat 3x)



In Ray Charles' head



I dreamed about Ray Charles last night



He took me flying in the air



Showed my own spider webs



Said, "Honey, you had best take care.



The world is made of spider webs



The threads are stuck to me and you



Be careful what you're wishing for



'Cause when you gain you just might lose"



You just might lose your...



Spider web (repeat 3x)



What Ray Charles said



When you're feelin' lonely



When you're hidin' in your bed



Don't forget your string of pearls



Don't forget your spider web



When I go to sleep tonight



Don't let me dream of brother Ray



No, no, no, don't...



Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he sees



Just like him best the other way



Spider web (repeat 3x)



What Ray Charles said...



In Ray Charles head



All I got's my spider web



Keepin' me alive



C'mon Ray
