(Intro) "Just flip the switch, my darling... forever..." (Verse 1) Down in my basement by the flickering dial I worked three long years just to win your smile Dials made of brass and copper coils wound tight To force you to love me by the morning light Strapped you in the chair, held your shaking hand I’m gonna be the only boy in this wasteland! I pulled down the lever with a manic grin Never saw the dark widow creeping on in! (Chorus) Eight legs for you! Eight eyes on me! Sparks on the silk in my laboratory! Eight legs for you! Tangled in the wire! Bound to my heart in an electric fire! You were supposed to be mine alone Now you’re chewing the meat right off my bone! (Verse 2) The glass tube shattered with a sickening crack The spider in the beam fused straight to your back! Your sweet ruby lips sprouted venom and fangs You tore through the leather with metallic bangs! No sweet whispered vows, no lover's embrace Just eight hairy claws grabbing hold of my face! The love beam went wrong, now the nightmare is true I made a spider queen... and she loves me too! (Chorus) Eight legs for you! Eight eyes on me! Sparks on the silk in my laboratory! Eight legs for you! Tangled in the wire! Bound to my heart in an electric fire! You were supposed to be mine alone Now you’re chewing the meat right off my bone! (Bridge) Sticky white threads wrapping round my chest... She’s dragging me down to our wedding nest... Look into my eyes, say "I do, my sweet"... SHE’S WRAPPING UP HER WEDDING TREAT! (Chorus) Eight legs for you! Eight eyes on me! Sparks on the silk in my laboratory! Eight legs for you! Tangled in the wire! Bound to my heart in an electric fire! You were supposed to be mine alone Now you’re chewing the meat right off my bone! (Outro) Bound forever! Caught in the trap! Eight legs! Eight legs!
