Scabs - Tarantula lyrics

rate me

I met a woman down in Mexico<br />

Sweet as sugar with a heart made of stone<br />

We drank tequila by the light of the moon<br />

I didn't know that she would be my ruin<br />

She said she knew about the voodoo ways<br />

And could make me love her till the end of my days<br />

She lit a candle then she took my hand<br />

And in the street I heard the mariachi band<br />

<br />

She tried to say she was the last of her kind<br />

She started to change I nearly lost my mind<br />

When she said that I'd be her honeybee<br />

I realized she had put a spell on me<br />

I looked around and my eyes grew wider then<br />

I realized I was inside her spider den<br />

Caught in her web I never had a chance<br />

When she did her tarantula dance<br />

<br />

You say it's too fantastic that it cannot be true<br />

But I say that can happen and it can happen to you<br />

One minute you'll be thinking that everything's fine<br />

The next thing you know well you're there with your heart on the line<br />

<br />

There she goes<br />

There in the moonlight<br />

Under the stars<br />

Tarantula<br />

<br />

Throughout the night I heard her call my name<br />

Me like the moth drawn to the falme<br />

Me in her spell with her magic ways<br />

She made the minutes stretch into days<br />

Me with her there and her lips on mine<br />

I felt our bodies then our souls entwine<br />

I tried to run but I never had a chance<br />

When she did her tarantula dance<br />

<br />

When I awoke she had slipped away<br />

I haven't seen her since that day<br />

And now I search every where I go<br />

For that young woman from down in Mexico<br />

I hear stories and the tales they tell<br />

Of a girl who breaks hearts with magic spells<br />

They say she uses potions and evil chants<br />

But I know it's just her tarantula dance
