There was a praying mantis on my window pane
And with it's cold eyes it stared and waited,
Today I've caught some spiders
Today I've caught some flies
For the mantis to pray a lullaby
I woke up sitting on his window pane
And through my old eyes I stared and waited,
And so it caught some spiders
To feed his brand new friend
And so it caught some lies
Divine were all your trails
Dreaming of my praying mantis
