lyrics

Spraying mantis ties her hair back with a plastic man. She keeps her eyes hid from the light of day. She likes to keep me in her mantis-zone. Then she tells me that she's not alone...She only likes me for my big strong arms. She saw me in the back room lifting lots of stuff. I saw her creepin’ upstairs to the patio, why? She shot out her pincers and they wrapped around my soul. Fly, fly, fly. Spraying Mantis won't you die die die? You make me sigh. Why? Well I don't know how to cook for a big bug but I know how to make love to you. You took me back home to your house under the bridge and you showed me your spraying mantis kids. And the flies will rise to take me away. Disguised, the bad guys give me a mask. I put it on my face. Who am I? The Spraying Mantis lies on the floor at my feet while I eat the dead dying memories that are killing me. Digesting the pain and shooting out the blame; it's never going to stop until the beast is dropped. When she's sleeping on her face, on her face. When she's dreaming there's nothing to say.
