“…For a lot of the time spent in the studio, I was in enormous throbbing migraine pain. “Spiders (Kidsmoke)” is a recording where I feel like you can hear my condition pretty clearly.

Spiders (Kidsmoke) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spiders are singing in the salty breeze
Spiders are filling out tax returns
Spinning out webs of deductions and melodies
On a private beach in Michigan
[Verse 2]
Why can't we wish their kisses good
Why do they miss when their kisses should
Fly like winging birds fighting for the keys
On a private beach in Michigan
[Refrain]
This recent rash of kidsmoke
All these telescopic poems
It's good to be alone
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Why can't they say what they want
Why can't they just say what they need
Come clean, listen and talk
Hello private caller, his I.D.'s blocked
[Verse 4]
The sun will rise, we'll climb into cars
The future has a valley and a shortcut around
Who will wear the crown of drowning award
Hold a private light on a Michigan shore
[Refrain]
Fool me with a kiss of kidsmoke
From a microscopic home
It's good to be alone
[Interlude]
[Verse 5]
I'll be in my bed
You can be the stone
That raises from the dead
And carries us all home
There's no blood on my hands
I just do as I am told

In the worst periods of migraine suffering — in particular during the making of the record A Ghost Is Born — the cycle of pain and pain relief and pain killer abuse got really difficult to dig out of. I was rarely able to function for more than a few hours a day. For a lot of that record I was just...
