Glass and the Ghost Children (acoustic)
(BC midsong: And in her visions and in her dreams. She read the poetry of the ages on the back of her hand. And in every grain of sand. She placed her beautiful feet upon. As she walked along the sands, haha, across the sands of her ages and times and loves and forgotten warriors. And she knew that everything was gonna be alllright. ‘Cause everybody told her it was gonna be alllright. (singing) And as she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled up inside her. As she counted the spiders, as they crawled inside her. Inside her! Inside her.)
