Yesterday There was a praying mantis on my window pane With its cold eyes it stared and waited Waited and stared again Today I catched some spiders To feed my little friend Today I catched some flies For the mantis to pray a lullaby Yesterday I woke up sitting on his window pane With my cold eyes I stared and waited Waited and stared again And so it catched some spiders To feed his brand new friend And so it catched some flies For me to pray a lullaby God Moves in mysterious ways God Divine are all your trails I will lay in my grave And I will dream of I will lay in my grave Dreaming of my praying mantis
