Spoonman (Demo Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feel the rhythm with your hands
(Steal the rhythm while you can)
Spoonman
Speak the rhythm on your own
(Speak the rhythm all alone)
Spoonman

[Chorus]
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me

[Verse 2]
All my friends are Indians
(All my friends are brown and red)
Spoonman
All my friends are skeletons
(And beat the rhythm with their bones)
Spoonman

[Chorus]
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me
See Soundgarden Live
Get tickets as low as $80
[Interlude/spoon solo]
Come on while I get off
Come on while I get off
Come on while I get off
Come on while I get off

[Chorus]
Spoonman, come together with your hands
Save me, I'm together with your plan
Save me

[Outro]
Feel the rhythm with your hands
(Steal the rhythm while you can)
Spoonman

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
