Spiders in My Bed Lyrics

What's that you say
Gonna sleep all day
So tired, been wired
You're so uptight
Got no sleep last night
Gone crazy, so lazy

You say
I've been wake so long
My feet are bout to fumble
I've been wake so long...
Barely holding on
I've been wake so long
My knees begin to tremble
And I like how I feel

Don't turn out the light
Don't turn out the light

What's that you said
Spiders in your bed
Can't rest here
Desperate fear
Go get your gun
Smoke the little ones
A cheap thrill, sleeping pill

You say
I've been wake so long
My feet are bout to fumble
I've been wake so long...
Barely holding on
I've been wake so long
My knees begin to tremble
And I like how I feel

Spiders in my bed
Spiders in my bed
Yes, that's what I said
Spiders in my bed
Don't turn out the light

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

@dougmc2254 I think it is definitely about coming down off amphetamines or less likely, cocaine. Maybe meth, because she said in an interview that every time that she ended up in a psych ward, she was on meth even though she didn't like meth that much. She had Hep C (which she underwent infusion treatment for and she is now Hep C Free) from injecting drugs and she has said although she has tried heroin, she didn't really like it, so from her own comments, I assume she used to shoot cocaine.
