This Mortal Coil - Tarantula lyrics

rate me

I'm living but I'm feeling numb, can see it in my stare

I wear a mask so falsely numb, and I don't know who I am

Despite the worlds inside of me, thwarting me away

I've noticed in other eyes, time's closing in

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula, tarantula, tarantula

The future's looking rather grim, strange black tide

Decisions lie with stupid men, alone with my life

That choking and the hype in me, expecting me to fall

But only if I'm threatened will the tables turn

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula, tarantula, tarantula

My world's under a sentence of death, I was born underground

But when the pressure gets too much for me, I bite
