On candy stripe legs the spiderman comes 条纹腿的蜘蛛人临近
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun 悄声穿过黄昏的暗影
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead 溜过极乐的死亡之窗
Looking for the victim shivering in bed 寻找床铺间颤栗的受害者
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and 搜寻积蓄黑暗中的恐惧
Suddenly 突然
A movement in the corner of the room 屋角有动静
And there is nothing I can do 当我恐慌地意识到
When I realize with fright 那蜘蛛人将把我当作晚餐时
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight 我却无能为力
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head 他无声地笑着 摇头又晃脑
Creeps closer now 越爬越近
Closer to the foot of the bed 近到床角
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies 暗过阴影 快于飞蝇
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes 他的手臂环绕我他的舌在我眼
Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy 现在放平稳放轻松我的小宝贝
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more 别像那样反抗这只会令我更爱你
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light 点亮灯否则时日太晚我会无法离开
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight 蜘蛛人今晚要将你做晚餐
And I feel like i'm being eaten 我想自己会被一个巢穴吞噬
By a thousand million shivering furry holes 一个毛骨悚然的毛茸茸的巢穴
And I know that in the morning I will wake up 我还明白清晨时自己将会
In the shivering cold 在冷颤中惊醒
And the spiderman is always hungry 而蜘蛛人却总是饥肠辘辘
