Tarantula (12" Version 2)

[Verse 1]

I'm living but I'm feeling numb

You could see it in my stare

I wear a mask so falsely now

That I don't know who I am

This void that whirls inside of me

It's rolling me away

And I've noticed that in other eyes

Time is closing in

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

Tarantula, tarantula

The future's looking rather grim

In this strange black time

The decisions lie with stupid men

Along with my life

They're choking and they hype at 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

La!

Push? Time to shove

La-la-la

And then I choke you

Push? Time to shove

They told you off

And they'll try to shut you off

I tried to explain

And they got me arranged

Cause they got me arranged

And you got me enraged

It will change

Tarantula, tarantula

My world's under a sentence of death

I was born under clouds

When the pressure gets too close for me I bite
