Beck - Tarantula Lyrics

Beck Lyrics

"Tarantula"
(originally by This Mortal Coil)

I'm living but I'm feeling numb
Can see it in my stare
I wear a mask so falsely now
And I don't know who I am
Despite the worlds inside of me
Cursing me away
I've noticed in others' eyes
That time is closing in

And when the thunder breaks
It breaks for you and me
Tarantula, tarantula
Tarantula, tarantula

The future's looking rather grim
A strange black tide
Decisions lie with foolish men
Along with my life
They're choking and holding me
Expecting me to fall
But only if I'm threatened
We'll see the tables turn

And when the thunder breaks
It breaks for you and me
Tarantula, tarantula
Tarantula, tarantula

Our world is under a sentence of death
I was born underground
But when the pressure gets too much for me
I bite

Tarantula, tarantula
Tarantula, tarantula
Tarantula, tarantula
Tarantula, tarantula
