Wicked Web Lyrics

Wicked Web lyrics



You told me you had money coming down the way 

"Can I borrow fifty bucks, man, just to get me through the day" 

You promised you were free this time of all of your old ways 

But I bought your story last time, and I can't afford to buy today 



And I think I see the drummers now 

They're coming down the road 

They're striking up a funeral beat 

They heard you're getting old 



I know you. You ain't fought 'em 

You let 'em play the song 

Then you fell in step when they asked you 

if you wanted to come along 



CHORUS 



What a wicked web we weave 

when first we practice to deceive 

Spinnin out a house of make-believe 

We're like a serpent on the ear of Eve 



Well, brother if you mean to tell the truth 

You better improve your diction 

Cause the words that you been letting slide 

are definitely fiction 



I been lookin for a place 

to lay my sorrow down 

And I found out where to lay your lies 

up on that dying ground 



God knows what your debt has cost 

It's already been paid 

On a Roman cross, a screaming man 

and a cave where He was laid
