This Mortal Coil - Tarantula lyrics

I'm living but I'm feeling numb

Can see it in my stare

I wear a mask so falsely numb

And I don't know who I am

Despite the worlds inside of me they warting me away

I've noticed in other eyes, time's closing in

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula, tarantula, tarantula

The future's looking rather grim

Strange black tide

Decisions lie with stupid men

Alone with my life

That choking and the hype in me expecting me to fall

But only if I'm threatened will the tables turn

But when the thunder breaks, it breaks for you and me

Tarantula, tarantula, tarantula, tarantula

My world's under a sentence of death, I was born underground

But when the pressure gets too much for me, I bite
