Brendan Benson - Insects Rule Lyrics
(Benson/Falkner)Once knew a woman, she was skin and bonesInvited all the insects to come into her homeShe trained them so wellThey could answer her phoneThe day finally came when the poor woman was overthrownHer husband returned home from voyages at seaTo find his lovely wife dead and a spider sipping teaHe drew his knife and sworeHe would have the spider's eyesAn army of red ants nearly took him by surpriseThe sailor and his wife lay dead while neighbors peeked inOutside the dogs were mesmerizedBy the humming from withinNews spread throughout the town of the insects' arrivalPeople gathered in the church to pray to GodAnd quote from the BibleMen came with gasoline and torches abrightA billion flies covered the skies til it was dark as nightThe cries were barely heard beneath the buzzing of the beesNow the insects rule so get down on your kneesAnd the town crier said:You God-fearing people had better bewareGather up your idols and begin to prepareThe time has come, the locusts have taken the airnegotiations are in effect the bugs don't even care
