Tarantula Lyrics by Bob Schneider

Lovely Creatures

0

I met a woman down in Mexico
Sweet as sugar with a heart made of stone
We drank tequila by the light of the moon
I didn't realize that she would be my ruin
She said she knew about the voodoo ways
Said she could love me till the end of her days
She lit a candle and turned around
And when she did my feet never touched the ground

She tried to say she was the last of her kind
She started to change I nearly lost my mind
I realized she had put a spell on me
Smelled the room; smelled just like a honeybee
I looked around and my eyes grew wider then
I realized I was inside her spider den
Tried to run but I never had a chance
She did her tarantula dance

Oh you say its too fantastic, it cannot be true
I say that it can happen, oh it can happen to you
One minute you'll be thinking that everything's fine
The next thing you know well you're there with your heart on the line

There she goes
There in the moonlight
Under the stars
Tarantula

There she goes
There in the moonlight
Under the stars
Tarantula

Throughout the night I heard her call my name
Me like a moth drawn to the flame
Me like a spell in the magic ways
Made a minute stretch into days
And when I felt her lips close to mine
I felt our bodies then our souls entwine
I tried to run but I never had a chance
She did her tarantula dance

Oh you say its too fantastic, it cannot be true
I say that it can happen, oh it can happen to you
One minute you'll be thinking that everything's fine
The next thing you know well you're there with your heart on the line

There she goes
There in the moonlight
Under the stars
Tarantula

There she goes
There in the moonlight
Under the stars
Tarantula

When I awoke she had slipped away
I haven't seen her since that day
And now I search everywhere I go
For that sweet young girl from Mexico I go
Town to town and the story they tell
About a girl breaking hearts with a magic spell
Using potions and magic chants
But I know it's just her tarantula dance

Oh you say its too fantastic, it cannot be true
I say that it can happen, oh it can happen to you
One minute you'll be thinking that everything's fine
The next thing you know well you're there with your heart on the line

There she goes
There in the moonlight
Under the stars
Tarantula

There she goes
There in the moonlight
Under the stars
