Tarantula

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
