Spiderwebs

Verse 1
You think that we connect
That the chemistry's correct
Your words walk right through my ears
Presuming I like what I hear

Pre-Chorus 1
And now I'm stuck in the
The web you're spinning
You've got me for your prey

Chorus
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

Verse 2
You're intruding on what's mine
And you're taking up my time
Don't have the courage inside me
To tell you please let me be

Pre-Chorus 2
Communication
A telephonic invasion
I'm planning my escape

Chorus
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

Post-Chorus
And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Bridge
Now it's gone too deep (Now it's gone too deep)
You wake me in my sleep (You wake me in my sleep)
My dreams become nightmares
'Cause you're ringing in my ears

Chorus
Sorry I'm not home right now
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story, but leave a message
And I'll call you back

Post-Chorus
And it's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter, matter, matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls

Post-Chorus
Oooh, the spiderwebs
Leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back

Post-Chorus
It's all your fault
I screen my phone calls
No matter, matter, matter who calls
I gotta screen my phone calls
It's all your fault
It's all your fault
No matter who calls
Matter who calls

Breakdown
I'm walking into spiderwebs
So leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs
Leave a message and I'll call you back

Outro
It's all your fault (I'm walking into spiderwebs)
No matter who calls (So leave a message and I'll call you back)

I'm walking into spiderwebs
Leave a message and I'll call you back

The opening track of No Doubt’s 1995 album Tragic Kingdom, and the second single from the album. Written by vocalist Gwen Stefani and bassist Tony Kanal, “Spiderwebs” is about a man who had been calling Gwen at all hours to recite bad poetry to her, seemingly unaware of the fact that these constant calls bothered her a lot. It became one of the band’s most popular singles, debuting at #10 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart and peaking at #5 after three weeks of its release.
