Waterdeep Wicked Web
You told me you had money
Coming down the way
Can I borrow fifty bucks, man
Just to get me through the day
You promised you were free this time
Of all of your old chains
Well, I bought your story last time
But I can't afford to buy today
I think, I see the drummers now
They're coming down the road
And they're striking up a funeral beat
They heard you're getting old
Well, I know you, you ain't fought 'em
You let 'em play the song
Then you fell in step when they asked you
If you wanted to come along
What a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
Spinnin' out a house of make-believe
We're like a serpent on the ear of Eve
Serpent on the ear of Eve
Well, brother if you mean to tell the truth
You better improve your diction
'Cause the words that you been letting slide
Are definitely fiction
Oh, but now I'm lookin' for a place
To lay my sorrows down
And I found out where to lay your lies
Up on that dying ground
God, knows what your debt has cost
It's already been paid
On a Roman cross, a screaming man
And a cave where He was laid
What a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
Spinnin' out a house of make-believe
We're like a serpent on the ear of Eve
Serpent on the ear of Eve
What a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
Spinnin' out a house of make-believe
We're like a serpent on the ear of Eve
Oh, what a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
Spinnin' out a house of make-believe
We're like a serpent on the ear of Eve
What a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
Spinnin' out a house of make-believe
We're like a serpent on the ear of Eve
Serpent on the ear of Eve
Serpent on the ear of Eve
What a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
What a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
What a wicked web we weave
When first we practice to deceive
