Analysis of Bass Playin' Spider Girl



She plays the bass, this mother of spiders.
Runs the Underground place, but there's much more inside her.
She's a muse of rhythm and a sista' of soul.
Gives all she can give 'em. Her ROCKS GOTTA ROLL!
With her eight-legged spawn she enhances our world.
She was born to "Rock On"! This sweet spider girl.
