Tarantula Lyrics - Scabs

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 know that she would be my ruin 

She said she knew about the voodoo ways 

And could make me love her till the end of my days 

She lit a candle then she took my hand 

And in the street I heard the mariachi band 

She tried to say she was the last of her kind 

She started to change, I nearly lost my mind 

When she said that I'd be her honeybee 

I realized she had put a spell on me 

I looked around and my eyes grew wider then 

I realized I was inside her spider den 

Caught in her web, I never had a chance 

When she did her tarantula dance 

You say it's too fantastic that it cannot be true 

But I say that can happen and 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 

Throughout the night I heard her call my name 

Me like the moth drawn to the flame 

Me in her spell with her magic ways 

She made the minutes stretch into days 

Me with her there and her lips on mine 

I felt our bodies then our souls entwine 

I tried to run but I never had a chance 

When she did her tarantula dance 

When I awoke she had slipped away 

I haven't seen her since that day 

And now I search every where I go 

For that young woman from down in Mexico 

I hear stories and the tales they tell 

Of a girl who breaks hearts with magic spells 

They say she uses potions and evil chants 

But I know it's just her tarantula dance
