I See Spiders When I Close My Eyes Lyrics

I've got nothing to worry about
So I worry about nothing
I think I've got fleas
Or some tropical disease
My spider sense is tingling

I've got nothing to panic about
So I panic about nothing
I won't buy grapes
I check the sell by dates
I only eat fruit out of tins

I've got the blues
I've got lips in my shoes
And I'm scared of the countryside
I can't sleep 'cause I see spiders
When I close my eyes

I've got nothing to be afraid of
So I'm afraid of nothing
I've emptied out the cupboard Underneath the stairs
'Cause I think the sky is going to fall

How did I get to be such a mess
So soon in my life
I can't sleep 'cause I see spiders when I close my eyes

All I ever wanted to be
Was comfortable and kind
I can't sleep 'cause I see spiders
When I close my eyes

All I ever wanted to be
Was comfortable and kind
I can't sleep 'cause I see spiders when I close my eyes

I'd love to go
To San Francisco
But I'm too afraid to fly
I can't help it, I see spiders
When I close my eyes

I love this song, In the lines saying, "I have nothing to worry about so i worry about nothing" and all the lines like it, it's like he's saying that even though nothings actually wrong he finds something. It's about fear and a feeling like everything is wrong.

"But my spider sense is tingling." Hah, I love a good Spider-man line tossed into a song. This song has eerily the same pessimissm as all the others, yet still gives me a bit of cheer.

This song sums up exactly how I've been feeling lately. I've got alot of issues here in the States and I can't do much. I have a shit job and nothing else to look forward to. I have nothing to do. And I worry about nothing. And not in the good sense either.

i kind of think this song is about how fears can hold you back from what you want to do... i.e. "I'd love to go to San Francisco but I'm too afraid to fly"
