The only thing worse than bad memories 

Is no memories at all 

From the age of 20 to 22 I had five friends 

None of whose names I can recall 

And as I would walk down K Street to some temping job 

As winter froze the life out of fall 

Yeah, I must've been having a ball 

Different scene outside your window now 

Same VCR, same cats 

Different people at the very same job 

Similar alley, different rats 

The trash goes out on a Tuesday now 

You got to make a note about that 

Yeah, this time you're where it's at 

You can't say it but I know that it's in there 

You don't know it but I know that you're scared 

Obvious and lonely—a spider in the snow 

Now you find the very same pit still yawns 

Deep down within the very same gut 

The very same ghosts still seem to haunt you down 

Down those lines you always tried to cut 

You thought you just might need a little change 

And now you find you got nothing but 

How can a body move the speed of light 

And still find itself in such a rut? 

You can't say it but I know that it's in there 

You don't know it but I know that you're scared 

Obvious and lonely—afraid to not let go 

You can't say it but I know it's in there 

You don't know it but I know that you're scared 

Obvious and lonely—a spider in the snow
