 "Show me your stripes" said the zebra to
The wicked spider in the morning dew
"I will provide for you shelter and wine
If you can prove that you are of my kind"
O Maria!
Break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
O Maria!
You broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
And then the spider turned onto its back
Displayed the colors and (?)
Said, "When we go, we go"
And so they crossed the windy field
Spider provided by the zebra's heels
And every bird from above did cry
"You will be bitten boy, you'll surely die"
O Maria!
Break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
O Maria!
You broke my brittle bones in two
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
We may be different
Two sides of the same fence
You bring your elegance and me my dumb strength
You were so kind to me
Beneath the willow trees
You took my hand in yours and I got down on my knees
They said I couldn't see it clear
They said that it would disappear
but when they came upon us found
(?) fall apart in their fears
I see what I can hear
And I fear what I cannot fear
And I need it to be true, but I saw your face come near
O Maria!
Break my wooden bones for you
You took my crystal heart and shook it through and through
O Maria!
I'd do it all again for you
You shook your silver hair and sent me to the moon
O Maria!
I'd do it all again for you
