Tarantula - Bob Schneider

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 its 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 falme

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
