Tarantula Songtext / Lyric

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
